Document: Concerted effort may be required by all stakeholders to try to avoid the introduction of SARS-CoV-2 into wild primate populations 7 . Recent measures suggested by the IUCN for researchers and caretakers of great ape populations include: ensuring that all individuals wear clean clothing and disinfected footwear; providing hand-washing facilities; requiring that a surgical face mask be worn by anyone coming within 10 meters of great apes; ensuring that individuals needing to cough or sneeze ideally leave the area, or at least cough/sneeze into the crux of their elbows; imposing a 14-day quarantine for all people arriving into great ape areas who will come into frequent close proximity with them 10 . The IUCN's 'Best Practice Guidelines for Health Monitoring and Disease Control in Great Ape Populations' should also be followed 47 .
