Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) Control of Case
1) Food Handlers or Persons in Sensitive
				Occupations, Not Including Health Care Workers
Cases with shigellosis (regardless of the specimen source)
				  shall not work as food handlers or in sensitive occupations until diarrhea has
				  ceased for at least 48 hours and two consecutive negative stool specimens are
				  obtained. Specimens shall be obtained following clinical recovery of the
				  patient, at least 24 hours apart and not sooner than 48 hours after the last
				  dose of antimicrobials, if administered. Specimens shall begin to be submitted
				  within one week after notification.
2) Health Care Workers
Local health authorities may require specimens from health
				  care workers or those who work in occupations requiring standard precautions if
				  there is reason to believe that specimen testing is necessary (e.g., the nature
				  of the work, including feeding patients, assisting patients with eating,
				  providing or preparing meals for patients, denture or oral care, hygienic
				  practices of the worker, dispensing or administering oral medications, or as
				  part of an investigation of a cluster). Specimens shall be obtained following
				  clinical recovery of the patient, at least 24 hours apart, and not sooner than
				  48 hours after the last dose of antimicrobials, if administered. Specimens
				  shall begin to be submitted within one week after notification, or the
				  individual shall be restricted from patient care. When specimen submission is
				  required, health care workers who feed patients or assist patients with eating,
				  provide or prepare meals for patients, provide denture or oral care, or
				  dispense or administer oral medications, shall be restricted from these duties
				  until two negative stool specimens are obtained or the local health department
				  determines that monitoring is no longer warranted.
3) Day Care Attendees
Cases of Shigella shall be excluded from attending a child
				  care facility, an adult day care facility, or a facility for the
				  developmentally disabled if below five years of age or incontinent of stool
				  until the case has been symptom free for 24 hours. Local health authorities may
				  require more strict requirements, such as release specimens before returning to
				  day care, if the local health department determines it is necessary to prevent
				  the spread of infection.
4)
				Cases shall avoid swimming in public recreational water venues (e.g., swimming
				pools, whirlpool spas, wading pools, water parks, interactive fountains, lakes)
				while symptomatic, and for two weeks after cessation of diarrhea.

a) The Department and the certified local
				health department shall adhere to the following conditions and principles when
				ordering the isolation or quarantine of a person or group of persons:
1) Isolation or quarantine shall be by the
				least restrictive means necessary to prevent the spread of a dangerously
				contagious or infectious disease to others consistent with the rules of the
				Department or in guidelines issued by the Centers for Disease Control and
				Prevention, and may include, but is not limited to, confinement to private
				homes or other public or private premises;
2) Isolated individuals shall be confined
				separately from quarantined individuals;
3) The health status of isolated or
				quarantined individuals shall be monitored regularly to determine whether they
				require continued isolation or quarantine;
4) A quarantined individual shall promptly be
				placed in isolation if the individual subsequently becomes infected or is
				reasonably believed to have become infected with a dangerously contagious or
				infectious disease that the Department or certified local health department
				believes poses a significant threat to the health and safety of other
				quarantined individuals;
5)
				Isolated or quarantined individuals shall be released when the Department or
				certified local health department determines that the individuals pose no
				substantial risk of transmitting a dangerously contagious or infectious disease
				that would constitute a serious or imminent threat to the health and safety of
				others;
6) To the extent possible,
				cultural and religious beliefs shall be considered in addressing the needs of
				individuals and in establishing and maintaining isolation or quarantine
				premises;
7) Isolation or
				quarantine shall not abridge the right of any person to rely exclusively on
				spiritual means (e.g., through prayer) to treat a dangerously contagious or
				infectious disease in accordance with religious tenets and practices, nor shall
				anything in this Subpart be deemed to prohibit a person so relying who is
				infected with a dangerously contagious or infectious disease from being
				isolated or quarantined in a private place of his or her own choice, provided
				that the location is approved by the Department or certified local health
				department. The Department or certified local health department may isolate
				infected individuals who decline treatment for the period of time they are
				believed to be infectious and may quarantine individuals for the period during
				which they may become infectious. The department or

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) The Department
				or certified local health department may order a person or group of persons to
				be quarantined or isolated or may order a place to be closed and made off
				limits to the public on an immediate basis without prior consent or court order
				if, in the reasonable judgment of the Department or certified local health
				department, immediate action is required to protect the public from a
				dangerously contagious orinfectious disease. (Section 2(c) of the Act) The
				determination that immediate action is required shall be based on the
				following:
1) The Department or the certified
				local health department has reason to believe that a person or group of persons
				is, or is suspected to be, infected with, exposed to, or contaminated with a
				dangerously contagious or infectious disease that could spread to or
				contaminate others if remedial action is not taken; and
2) The Department or the certified local
				health department has reason to believe that the person or group of persons
				would pose a serious and imminent risk to the health and safety of others if
				not detained for isolation; and
3)
				The Department or the certified local health department has first made efforts,
				which shall be documented, to obtain voluntary compliance with requests for
				medical examination, testing, treatment, counseling, vaccination,
				decontamination of persons or animals, isolation, and inspection and closure of
				facilities, or has determined that seeking voluntary compliance would create a
				risk of serious harm.
