What if I get sick?
Many infectious diseases in Hawaii are considered reportable conditions. This means that your doctor will automatically report these illnesses to us if they are confirmed by laboratory tests. For a list of reportable conditions, click here.
You may call us directly for a number of reasons as well, such as :
to confirm that your illness has been reported to us by your healthcare provider
to obtain information on your illness, or to consult with our epidemiologists further on how you can protect your co-workers and loved ones from illnesses
to report illnesses you contracted from eating contaminated or spoiled foods
Please browse through our pages to obtain information on any topic you are interested in exploring.
