The steps taken to prevent the spread of disease are collectively known as?

Hygiene
Infection control
Sterilization
Sanitation

The correct answer is: Infection control

Infection control is the correct answer as it encompasses all the measures taken to prevent the spread of disease, such as hygiene, sterilization, and sanitation. However, while hygiene refers to personal practices such as washing hands, infection control goes beyond that and includes other preventive measures as well. Sterilization refers to the process of eliminating all microorganisms, while sanitation specifically focuses on cleaning and disinfecting surfaces. Therefore, these options are not as comprehensive as infection control.
