They perform viral or antibody tests as needed, and for those suspected of infection, they implement isolation measures and procedures for transfer to medical institutions. They also handle records and reports of quarantine operations, monitor infectious disease trends, provide information to relevant organizations, and offer travel health advice, thereby playing a key role in public health administration.
