Communicable Disease Exposures
The Communicable Disease Exposure page provides essential resources and guidelines to safeguard staff from communicable diseases. This page serves as a hub for the latest protocols, prevention strategies, and reporting procedures, ensuring staff remain informed and prepared.
A new SHA-wide communicable disease notification process for reportable and non-reportable diseases is in effect. This new process will streamline reporting processes between Public Health, IPAC and Occupation/Employee Health Nursing teams to ensure any potential exposures involving patients and/or staff are investigated in a timely manner.
