Details
UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) produces a monthly report that provides detailed updates on known HCID events around the world. The purpose of this report is simply to raise awareness.
See also High consequence infectious diseases guidance and HCID country specific risk.
HCIDs are defined in the UK according to the following criteria:
- acute infectious disease
- typically has a high case-fatality rate
- may not have effective prophylaxis or treatment
- often difficult to recognise and detect rapidly
- ability to spread in the community and within healthcare settings
- requires an enhanced individual, population and system response to ensure it is managed effectively, efficiently and safely
