Current through Register Vol. 51, page 10, July 15, 2024
In devising public health measures for reportable diseases
				  and conditions for which a specific public health measure is not otherwise
				  provided by this article, the department shall use the following principles
				  that can be reasonably expected to decrease the risk of transmission:
(1) For airborne diseases, physical isolation
				for the period of communicability;
(2) For fecal-orally transmitted diseases,
				exclusion from situations in which transmission can be reasonably expected to
				occur, such as work as a food handler, attendance at or work in a child care
				facility, health care facility, or institution, for the period of
				communicability;
(3) For sexually
				transmitted or bloodborne diseases, prohibition of donation of blood, tissue,
				organs, or semen; needle sharing; and sexual contact in a manner likely to
				result in transmission for the period of communicability; and
(4) Each health care worker must comply with
				standard precautions for the prevention of the transmission of bloodborne
				pathogens.

For purposes of this article, a "health threat to others" or
				  a "threat to the public health" exists if a case or carrier demonstrates an
				  inability or unwillingness to refrain from conduct that places others at risk
				  of exposure to a reportable disease, condition, or infectious agent. It may
				  include one or more of the following:
(1) Behavior by a case or carrier that has
				been demonstrated epidemiologically to transmit a disease, condition, or
				infectious agent to others or that evidences a careless disregard for the
				transmission of the disease, condition, or infectious agent to
				others;
(2) A substantial
				likelihood that a case or carrier will transmit a disease, condition, or
				infectious agent to others as evidenced by a case's or carrier's past behavior
				or by statements of a case or carrier that are credible indicators of a case's
				or carrier's intention; or
(3)
				Affirmative misrepresentation by a person of the person's status as a case or
				carrier prior to engaging in a behavior that has been demonstrated
				epidemiologically to transmit the disease, condition, or infectious
				agent.

The department may instruct a case or carrier of a reportable
				  disease or condition regarding public health measures for preventing the spread
				  of the disease or condition and of the necessity for treatment until cured,
				  non-infectious, or free from the infection. If the department knows or has
				  reason to believe, because of medical or epidemiological information, that a
				  person has a reportable disease or condition and is a health threat to others,
				  it may issue a public health notice directing the person to take one or more of
				  the following actions:
(1) To be
				examined or tested to determine whether the person has the disease in an
				infectious stage;
(2) To report to
				a physician, health care worker, or authorized department representative for
				counseling on the disease and for information on how to avoid infecting
				others;
(3) To receive treatment
				until cured or non-infectious and to follow measures for preventing
				reinfection;
(4) To cease from
				specified conduct which endangers the health of others; or
(5) To cooperate with the department in
				implementation of recommended public health measures.
The department may use restrictive public health measures
				  only if other measures to protect the public health have failed, including
				  efforts to obtain the voluntary cooperation of the person who may be the
				  subject of such measures. The department shall apply public health measures as
				  necessary to achieve the desired purpose of protecting the public health, using
