May public health officials give control measures for communicable diseases or conditions that are not reportable?

Yes. A local health director has the duty to ensure that control measures are given for both reportable communicable diseases and “any other communicable disease or communicable condition that represents a significant threat to the public health.” G.S. 130A-144(e). While giving the control measures is the local health director’s duty, if there is a communicable disease or condition representing a significant threat to the public health in North Carolina, it is likely that the state Division of Public Health will be involved in devising and disseminating the control measures.
