Communicable Disease Reporting
For more information, see the following:
Accurate, timely, and complete reporting of infectious disease protects the public's health. Genesee County physicians,
laboratory scientists, infection control practitioners, and other care providers play an essential part in this effort and
are required to provide the Genesee County Health Department with information about patients with reportable communicable
disease. Lab confirmed and clinical diagnoses are reportable by time intervals specified in the Michigan Communicable Disease
Rules, Section 5111 of Act 368 of the Public Acts of 1978, as amended 333.5111 of the Michigan Compiled Laws. Reporting
generates follow up activity by public health staff which assists in identifying outbreaks not always evident to an individual
provider. The information also assists with state, national and international disease surveillance efforts.
