**NEW** On-line School and Child Care Weekly Communicable Disease Reporting

The Weekly School and Childcare Communicable Disease Reporting System is an important way for the Macomb County Health Department to monitor and prevent outbreaks of disease in our schools and child care centers.  Disease prevention and control efforts depend on each facility's participation in the reporting process; continued commitment to complete reporting will assist public health in controlling communicable diseases in the community. 

The weekly communicable disease reports can now be submitted directly on-line.  The new electronic reporting capability is quicker than paper reporting; it saves money, and is easy to complete.  It also allows for timely analysis of disease patterns.

As in the past, please complete a report for each week of the school year; only one method of submission is necessary: on-line, fax or mail.  The Health Department is encouraging schools to submit the form on-line.
