Outbreaks

Outbreaks are instances in which more than one person is ill. All outbreaks are reportable to public health, regardless of the setting where the outbreak is occurring or the pathogen causing the outbreak.

Providers should report known or suspected outbreaks immediately (within four hours of detection) to either the local public health agency or to us at 303-692-2700. It is especially important to report outbreaks occurring in congregate settings such as health care facilities, group living homes, child care centers, correctional settings (e.g., jails, prisons), schools, and workplaces.
