Table 1. Suggested plans of action for isolated populations under 4 scenarios.

Population growing Population not growing
Future contact well-organized Maintain isolation and remote surveillance Contact recommended
Future contact poorly-organized Maintain isolation and remote surveillance Improve protection and contact plan
