COVID-19 Reporting Requirements
The Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention (Maine CDC) relies on health care providers and laboratorians to report the occurrence of notifiable diseases. Without such surveillance data, Maine cannot accurately monitor trends, detect and respond to unusual occurrences of diseases (such as outbreaks), and evaluate the effectiveness of control and prevention activities.
COVID-19 is a reportable disease in Maine as stated in Maine CDC's Notifiable Diseases and Conditions List and Rules. Reporting of notifiable diseases and conditions is required under 22 M.R.S., Chapter 250, 802 and 822. Health care providers and facilities, medical laboratories, childcare facilities, correctional facilities, educational institutions, administrators, and health officers are all required reporters.
