CDH staff focuses on preventing the spread of diseases in our community. We work to keep you up-to-date on the latest information and guidance regarding illnesses.
IDHW – Idaho Reportable Disease List
There are over 70 different conditions that are reportable to public health in Idaho. When someone is diagnosed with one of these diseases, CDH epidemiologists:
- work to find out the source of illness,
- determine if other people may have been exposed or if an outbreak has occurred,
- provide education to help prevent re-infection, and
- recommend if people should stay home to prevent the illness from spreading.
