Varicella Testing and Reporting Recommendations
In 2021, providers reported 63 cases of varicella in fb88 residents to fb88 CDC, compared to just 33 cases reported in 2020. The decrease in widespread COVID-19 social distancing practices likely played a role in the increase in varicella cases. Varicella is a notifiable condition in fb88, and all confirmed or suspected cases should be reported to fb88 CDC by telephone, fax, or electronic lab report within 48 hours of recognition or strong suspicion of disease.
