Communicable diseases are infectious diseases that are spread from person to person (e.g., E. coli, Salmonella, Sexually Transmitted Diseases/Infections) or from animals to people (e.g., rabies, H1N1). There are 70 communicable diseases that are reportable to the Evanston Health Department (EHD). Mandated reporters, such as health care providers, hospitals and laboratories must report any suspected or confirmed case of these diseases to the Evanston Health Department within the number of days or hours indicated by Illinois State Law. This timely reporting helps to reduce the number of potential infections.
In addition, we prevent the spread of infectious diseases through disease surveillance, community education, outbreak response and by providing recommendations to control the spread of communicable diseases in the City of Evanston.
