The University of Nebraska Medical Center has gained international
recognition for its expertise in the control and management of
highly infectious diseases, with a good deal of public attention
given to its work during the 2014 Ebola outbreak in west Africa and
now in 2020 with its biocontainment and treatment of more than a
dozen cruise ship evacuees who were exposed to the coronavirus. The
Nebraska Isolation and Quarantine Manual is a practical guide for
local public health officials, emergency management personnel, and
health care providers looking to implement evidence-based best
practices in the event of an infectious disease outbreak.
