If you suspect or confirm a notifiable disease, you should:

  • inform the NIC and EPIC
  • isolate the patient and use appropriate PPE
  • discuss with the infectious diseases team if clinically appropriate
  • inform the public health team
  • manage the patient as otherwise clinically relevant

See the other sections in the handbook about face mask use and FFP3 mask fitting. Use appropriate PPE.
