Who is Required to Report?

Health care practitioners, health care facilities, medical laboratories, and agencies with contractual agreements with VDH.  This includes community-based organizations.  Unless previously reported, every licensed care provider who provides care to any patient who has, is suspected of having, or has died from a reportable disease is required to report.

The Regulations for Disease Reporting and Control describe what disease must be reported to VDH and the methods to use to report.

Information on this page is specific to the Division of Disease Prevention and does not replace the regulations.  The Virginia Reportable Disease List provides details on ALL reportable conditions.  You can find more resources on other reportable conditions from the Division of Surveillance and Investigation.
