Swedish term or phrase: Epidemier där insatserna leds av offentliga myndigheter
From an English-speaking perspective, the term "insats" is a tough nut to crack.

Sometimes I can come up with a translation, but in the following context (an insurance policy description), it is still elusive:

"
Ersättning utgår inte för kostnader som avser

[...]

- Epidemier där insatserna leds av offentliga myndigheter
"

Does "insatser" here refer specifically to containment and treatment efforts (quarantines, etc.) in response to an epidemic?

Or is it broader than that?

Thanks

Explanation:
Hello
Insatser is literally "what you put into something" and it often translated a as "measures", "actions", "initiatives" but as governments respond to crises, that is my take on it

Explanation:
I think you had it...'response' -- vague, but equally vague as the Swedish
