Reporting of COVID-19/SARS-CoV-2 under the Minnesota Communicable Disease Rules, Chapter 4605.7080 

On December 5, 2022, the Commissioner of Health (“Commissioner”) published in the State Register a Notice of Statewide COVID-19/SARS-CoV-2 Surveillance to align COVID-19 reporting requirements under the Communicable Disease Reporting Rule with how reporting of COVID-19/SARS-CoV-2 has evolved during the pandemic.

    This document updates the previous notice requiring reporting that was issued by the Commissioner on March 3, 2020. The new notice addresses requirements for reporting to MDH by health care providers, hospitals, clinics, medical laboratories, and community settings including long-term care, Pre-K-12 schools, child care, higher education, shelters, and corrections facilities. These disease reporters do not need to change how they report COVID-19/SARS-CoV-2 at this time. The new notice aligns with reporting protocols updated in summer 2022, so they should continue following current reporting instructions.
