TextCommunicable Disease
The Fairfax County Health Department's Communicable Disease Epidemiology program works to reduce illness and death from communicable disease in the community by identifying illness, investigating causes and recommending actions to prevent transmission and spread. The Virginia Department of Health (VDH) has established a Virginia Reportable Disease List which identifies all conditions which are required to be reported to the local health department by state law (Section 32.1-36 of the Code of Virginia and 12 VAC 5-90-80 and 12 VAC 5-12-90 of the Board of Health Regulations for Disease Reporting and Control.)
Physicians, laboratories, and medical facilities may report directly to the local health department by calling 703-246-2433.
