Frequently Asked Questions

Question: I’ve seen several patients recently with a similar illness that I think may be related, should I report it to someone?

Answer: Yes, any disease outbreak, regardless of the disease, is reportable to your local health department. Even if you’re unsure if it is an outbreak, if you’ve been seeing an increase in a particular illness above what you typically see, you must report it. The health department will open an investigation and, with your help, will determine if it is an outbreak.

Question: I saw a patient who had an infectious disease, do I need to report it to the health department?
