Does ADPH require food establishments to inform ADPH is an employee has tested positive for COVID-19 specifically?
Food establishments are under no special reporting requirements as COVID-19 is not a foodborne illness, it's a respiratory illness. However, COVID-19 is a reportable disease and the Health Department is notified of all positive cases.
