IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS (Read before proceeding)If you suspect an individual has a RG4 VHF, consult the Ministry of Health Notification Pathway for Special Pathogens which outlines the provincial algorithm for managing special pathogens, including VHFs. It is recommended that a clinical risk assessment be conducted prior to initiating this process to assess the likelihood of a VHF infection. The information gathered through this assessment will inform subsequent coordination calls with provincial health system partners and subject matter experts, following consultation with the Ministry, and will support decision-making on testing, in accordance with the Notification Pathway for Special Pathogens. PHO provides a symptom and exposure risk assessment form that can be accessed via PHO’s Viral Hemorrhagic Fevers webpage. |
