- 1) Notification of both medical and operational leadership is imperative and should occur soon after identification of a PUI.
- 2) Official notification in an approved format should be drafted and submitted to the command surgeon (or appropriate designee).
- 3) If MedCon2 or higher risk category, begin coordination for evacuation to a higher echelon of care as soon as possible.
- 4) Identify potential close contacts of PUI, screen for symptoms, and manage according to CDC guidelines for high risk exposure.
