Communicable Disease Tracking & Reporting

Phone: (636) 528-6117 ext 403

One of the most important responsibilities in public health is to control and report communicable disease. The first step in the control of any communicable disease is prompt identification.For this reason health departments around the world collect data on reportable cases of infectious disease.

In Lincoln County, weekly reports are obtained from specified sites throughout the county. An increased incidence of any specific disease is noted as reports are received. When a Lincoln County resident becomes ill with a contagious disease, an investigation is done and a report is filed. Often the investigation process includes education for the client and their family. Measures to prevent further spread of disease are a part of public health management of communicable disease.
