...it is very difficult to interact with them without violating their right to life because it is easy to infect them with a disease. What do we do?

Ship in a bunch of doctors, and introduce them to disease under medically controlled circumstances. We can't isolate them forever to avoid an epidemic, but we can try to mitigate the impact when it occurs.

To those downmodding, do you have a better solution? Should we simply wait for accidental contact (most likely with no doctors present) to wipe out everyone?
