Abstract
Recent World Health Organization (WHO)-India COVID-19 Situation Update Reports have documented the status of the epidemic. COVID-19 is an infectious disease outbreak of significant impact throughout India. There are other infectious diseases, also circulating in nature, that may or may not become a disease cluster that leads to an outbreak. Given the current situation, this is an appropriate time to review the concepts of field epidemiology to assist in epidemiologic efforts in response to infectious disease outbreaks. The main purpose of this review is to succinctly describe some main concepts of field epidemiology to assist public health professionals preparing to investigate infectious disease outbreaks in rural Rajasthan or similar regions in India.
