Abstract

When an outbreak occurs, in most cases an erroneous diversity of opinions begin to emerge if there is not the presence of an epidemiologist, who will know what to do and how to do it. If the outbreak is not contained, support personnel will be needed. For this reason it is necessary to establish a rapid deployment team for outbreak investigation, whose main objective would be leading the investigation, as well as coordinating and advising those responsible for medical care and local epidemiological surveillance, in order to limit the damage and resolve the outbreak.
