Our findings emphasize the need for government agencies and local communities to work together to be more strategic in infectious disease containment policy implementation , and enhance health infrastructure in less developed regions to alleviate negative effects on these groups . Despite improvement in tracing measures and privacy regulations , there is room for additional enhancement in public health emergency response system to balance the twin goals of maximizing disease containment and minimizing the negative impacts on individuals . For example , policy makers can consider incorporating the HIPPA regulations during disease control implementation , and provide training to data collectors at government and community levels to promote ethical practices , privacy awareness , and sensitivity to confidentiality issues .
