In particular, the epidemic is unfolding in a region characterized by limited public health infrastructure including: (1) a lack of essential supplies to implement infection control measures in health care settings; (2) scarcity of health care workers and staff to manage a growing case burden and carry out essential contact tracing activities to find new cases quickly so that these can be effectively isolated [12] ; and (3) the absence of epidemiological surveillance for the timely identification of case clusters [13, 14] . ./cache/cord-259754-7skgb6eu.txt ./txt/cord-259754-7skgb6eu.txt
