Communicable Diseases
The goal of Shiawassee County Health Department’s Communicable Disease program is to protect the community from communicable disease threats. Coummincable diseases are illnesses caused by viruses or bacteria that people spread to one another through contact with contaminated surfaces, bodily fluids, blood products, insect bites, or the air.
Preventing and controlling communicable disease is a vital and critical aspect of assuring community health, and is a duty of local health departments. There are more than 70 reportable diseases in Michigan.
