Alameda County New COVID-19 Healthcare Provider Reporting Requirements

Although the Alameda County Public Health Department (ACPHD) continues to conduct individual COVID-19 case and contact investigations, public health resources are being prioritized towards investigations in settings (e.g., long-term care facilities) or among persons (e.g., healthcare providers or first responders) where there is concern for ongoing transmission.

To ensure that ACPHD prioritizes resources for public health investigations, effective April 8, 2020 ACPHD has modified the County’s COVID-19 reporting requirements for healthcare providers as summarized in the Health Advisory and available on the ACPHD Health Alerts webpage.
