Description of Proposed Guidance Document Changes

The Guidelines for Notification and Reporting of Communicable Diseases explains the requirement to notify parents when children at a child day center have been exposed to a communicable disease listed in the Virginia Department of Health’s communicable disease chart; as well as the requirement to report all outbreaks to the Virginia Department of Health (VDH) pursuant to 12VAC5-90-80 and 12VAC5-90-90 as referenced in the standards. The guidance document seeks to provide clear directions to providers on regulatory responsibilities related to notifying parents of their child’s exposure to diseases to ensure the safety and well-being of children in care and reporting to the local health department for the benefit of the community.
