Best Practice Guidelines for Health Monitoring and Disease Control in Great Ape Populations

For everyone: compulsory 5-day* quarantine before going to the chimpanzee research camps. The quarantine period starts on Friday afternoon, when assistants come back to the park after their week off, and ends ve days later on Wednesday afternoon. In normal routines, no one should join the quarantine later than Friday, as it will interrupt the quarantine cycle, in which case quarantine needs to start all over again. Travellers arriving on days other than Friday (international travellers or coming from Abidjan) can start their quarantine in north camp so as not to interrupt the routine quarantine.
