U.S. Navy Lt. Cmdr. Stefani Mochisaki, the officer in charge of the COVID response cell for U.S. Naval Hospital Okinawa, stands for a photo inside the COVID response cell office at Camp Foster, Okinawa, Japan, July 24, 2020. "For a disease outbreak such as COVID-19 it is really important to change the curve related to the number of cases within our community," Said Mochisaki. "How you do that is by good contact tracing, identifying those individuals with close contact to a positive case, and then they support our community by going under a quarantine to mitigate further spread to others. Our job is really important because we change the outcome of this outbreak and how far it spreads throughout our community." (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Hannah Hall)
