The team is responsible for caring for an isolated population, with limited supplies, and medical evacuation limitations. This transition to a new primary medical mission in the face of a pandemic is applicable to any small medical team tasked with taking care of isolated populations. Centralized suspected exposure reporting is required, with any suspected individuals calling or reporting to designated locations where medical personnel can don personal protective equipment (PPE) and clinically assess the probability of infection (Fig. 1) . When this cannot be supported and individuals will join at various dates, the best option we have found is "restriction of movement." 6 During restriction of movement, at-risk populations are segregated only to certain locations at specific times as best as possible, to reduce exposure at communal points such as recreation, hygiene (bathing and toilet), and dining facilities.	./cache/cord-283458-ndzafv3c.txt	./txt/cord-283458-ndzafv3c.txt
