But the public health system of contact-tracing, treatment with preventive antibiotics, and localised vaccinations, appears to have limited the spread.

So far about 2,500 vaccines have been administered and almost 10,000 precautionary doses of antibiotics have been issued. Due to the Covid pandemic, these young people and millions of others are more familiar with the protocols associated with the prevention of infectious diseases than they would have been before it.
