brainstorming an outbreak
I chose Norovirus
Think back to your course project. If there was an outbreak of Norovirus, what steps would an epidemiologist take to control such an outbreak?
Write a 1-2 page paper answering the following questions:
- Would they use active or passive surveillance? Why?
- What kind of control measures would an epidemiologist recommend? Why?
- Would it likely be just a local level response, or would it involve state or federal partners? Why?
