Hi folks! The KW4 & CND IPAC Hub have created some videos that might be helpful to you and your support team for outbreak preparation. Videos include information about reporting to ROWPHE through their online reporting form, completing the Respiratory Activity Line List in its entirety to ensure adequate follow up with the public health outbreak team, and helpful tips for completing a lab requisition to ensure that both you and our local public health unit receive resident and staff results within a timely manner.
Not seeing something that could be helpful for you and your team? Contact the hub to make suggestions for future video uploads.
Please note: For a full list of reportable disease of public health significance, please check out Region of Waterloo Public Health’s list and key contact information for reporting.
