This is a rapidly changing field. Although this sort of prompt and appropriate response addresses the possibility of continued transmission on the basis of known agent-specific facts and experience, epidemiologists sometimes need to extend the investigation, depending on the circumstances and needs (e.g., when a trace-back is indicated to identify a continuing primary source for a restaurant-associated outbreak, such as shellfish or lettuce that was contaminated before being harvested) (5). The natural history of a disease classifies into five stages: underlying, susceptible, subclinical, clinical, and recovery/disability/death. https://www.cdc.gov/vhf/ebola/healthcare-us/ppe/guidance.html, Donning: PPE must be donned correctly in proper order before entry into the patient care area.
