Maine CDC would like to remind providers and laboratories to immediately report all Urgent Notifiable Conditions on recognition or strong suspicion of disease by phone to Maine CDC at 1-800-821-5821.
The sustained ongoing challenges posed by the COVID-19 response elevates the importance of immediately reporting Urgent Notifiable Conditions by phone and not relying on electronic laboratory reports or faxing.
This includes ALL conditions with a phone icon next to them on the Notifiable Diseases and Conditions list EXCEPT for novel Coronavirus. Positive COVID-19 cases DO NOT need to be called in to Maine CDC.
All other disease conditions are reportable within 48 hours of recognition or strong suspicion of disease.
