Administrative History

Reporting of suspected or confirmed communicable diseases, including tuberculosis, is mandated under the New York State Sanitary Code (10 NYCRR 2.10, 2.14). Physicians are primarily responsible for reporting the diseases. Laboratories (Public Health Law 2102), school nurses (10 NYCRR 2.12), day care center directors, nursing homes/hospitals (10 NYCRR 405.3d) and state institutions (10 NYCRR 2.10a) or other locations providing health services (10 NYCRR 2.12) are also required to report the diseases.
