Description: Illnesses and Reportable Diseases Guidelines serve as a crucial tool for #teachers, #administrators, #directors, and #family-child-care providers to monitor and control the spread of #infectious-diseases across all age groups. These guidelines outline the specific diseases that must be reported to local health departments, ensuring timely intervention and appropriate preventive measures. By requiring healthcare providers to report cases, these guidelines facilitate the collection and analysis of data, enabling authorities to effectively respond to outbreaks and protect the health of the community. This resource, developed by #MSDE, is to provide teachers and providers with guidelines for determining when children should have isolated and/or sent home.
