Response (What to do if you suspect an outbreak)
The early signs of an outbreak can be subtle, making it difficult to determine if one is occurring. Use the tools on this page to identify a potential outbreak in your facility and help you get started with the first steps to control it.
In the event of an outbreak, the Southern Nevada Health District will work with your business to identify appropriate corrective actions and precautions to end the outbreak quickly.
If you suspect that you might be experiencing an outbreak at your property, please reach out to the Health District immediately. The sooner we know about it, the sooner we can work together to help end it. You can call the Office of Epidemiology at (702) 759-1300 at any time, Environmental Health Foodborne Illness at (702) 759-1504, or your assigned inspector during business hours.
