# * Limit human-to-human transmission; reducing secondary infections among close contacts and health care workers, preventing transmission amplification events.# * Identify, isolate and care for patients early and providing optimized care for infected patients.# * Identify and reduce transmission from the animal source.# * Address crucial unknowns regarding clinical severity, extent of transmission and infection, treatment options, and accelerate the development of diagnostics, therapeutics and vaccines.# * Communicate critical risk and event information to all communities and counter misinformation.
This can be achieved through a combination of public health measures, such as rapid identification, diagnosis and management of the cases, identification and follow up of the contacts, infection prevention and control in health care settings, implementation of health measures for travelers, awareness-raising in the population and risk communication.
