DISEASE EXPOSURE CONTROL
In the event of a pandemic or a terrorist exposure incident for which there is no medical treatment or vaccine, measures will have to be taken to slow or stop the spread of infection. Since quarantine has not been necessary in the United States for 80 years, and there is an emphasis in the USA on individual freedoms, disease containment presents unique challenges. This course examines guidelines by which a disease may be controlled, describes the tools available to assist control of the spread of disease (infection control, quarantine), compliance measure (education, law enforcement), discusses key policy issues and suggests protocols for plan development.
