Under existing law, infected health care workers are defined as health care workers who are infected with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) or hepatitis B virus (HBV).
This bill would add to the definition of infected health care workers those health care workers infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV) for purposes of reporting to the State Health Officer.
This bill would also authorize the State Board of Health to designate by rule other diseases that infected health care workers must report to the State Health Officer.
