Communicable Disease Exposures

A new Saskatchewan Health Authority (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.
