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.
