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 |
Policy towards currently isolated populations should be contingent on whether or not the current population is growing (columns) and the prospects for whether or not a future contact will be well-organized (rows).
