(1) This subchapter contains minimal control measures to prevent the spread of disease. The local health officer or the officer's designee must either employ the minimal control measures or ensure that a representative of the department when assisting a local health officer with a case, a health care provider treating a person with a reportable disease, or any other person caring for a person with a reportable disease does so, with the exception that if a particular control measure specifies who is responsible for carrying it out, only that person is responsible.

(2) If a reportable disease is not listed in this subchapter, no minimum control measures for the disease are required.
