Community surveillance and social dimensions of outbreak investigation
- Design of community surveillance activities for human and animal health, to complement existing surveillance systems
Develop an adapted, locally appropriate plan for community detection of outbreaks of new COVID-19 waves. This service would enable local public health authorities to identify social risks and to facilitate community engagement and participation in the identification of these risks. Where appropriate, this plan will include human interactions with potential animal reservoirs in which COVID-19 has been detected. Rapid quantitative and qualitative methods, including key informant interviews and targeted focus group discussions will be employed - Design, implementation and supervision of community surveillance activities for human and animal health, to complement existing surveillance systems
