During any outbreak or whenever problems occur, there are
always three major steps to take.
1. First, is the containment action. In this step, actions
are taken to reduce or lessen the severity of the people affected. This aims in
isolating the disease. In this step, scientific knowledge is used in making
decision on what containment actions to take.
2. Second is the corrective action. This step focuses
solely on formulating medicine to treat the disease. Once again scientific
knowledge is used in creating those medicines.
3. Third is the preventive action. To prevent this disease
outbreak from recurring, certain actions are made to ensure this does not
happen again.
