[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2239785, member: 480869"] [SIZE=5][B]Definition of HCID[/B][/SIZE] In the UK, a high consequence infectious disease (HCID) is defined according to the following criteria: [LIST] [*]acute infectious disease [*]typically has a high case-fatality rate [*]may not have effective prophylaxis or treatment [*]often difficult to recognise and detect rapidly [*]ability to spread in the community and within healthcare settings [*]requires an enhanced individual, population and system response to ensure it is managed effectively, efficiently and safely [*] [/LIST] And these responses address this list (rightly or wrongly) They have determined that several features have now changed; in particular, more information is available about mortality rates (low overall), and there is now greater clinical awareness and a specific and sensitive laboratory test, the availability of which continues to increase. The need to have a national, coordinated response remains, but this is being met by the [URL='https://www.gov.uk/coronavirus']government’s COVID-19 response[/URL]. Cases of COVID-19 are no longer managed by HCID treatment centres only [/QUOTE]
