Adaptation and Mitigation measures --- An inclusive task force set up to advise the Prime Minister and/or President would need to include: -government officials from relevant ministries and agencies (health, foreign affairs, interior, security, transport, education, customs etc.) -health scientists (virologists, epidemiologists, public health, etc.) -health practitioners (representing specialists and generalists facing patients) -social scientists (sociology, political science, psychology, etc.) -social media, communication, tech experts -representatives from civil society -main airlines and transportation representatives -business & employers representatives -workers' unions representatives

They would be able to call on any external (local or international) expertise (ad-hoc) when needed.

The role of the task force would be advisory for any adaptation or mitigation measures, balancing the level of urgency of the public health crisis with fundamental societal needs and individual rights.
