The policy further directed, in part, to maintain ongoing infection surveillance using standardized definitions and to define outbreak thresholds per disease type, initiate immediate control measures, notify Connecticut DPH, the medical director and administrator immediately upon suspicion, maintain a line list, exposure log, and documentation of interventions and outcomes and conduct post-outbreak review and revise prevention plan accordingly. y.
