Roster Reporting

Reporting through SPOT is always the preferred method to alert the county of a suspected outbreak. For roster submission, there are a few alternate methods:

• Business/Workplace and Childcare: Please fill out the applicable templates and email to covid.business.tracing@cchealth.org

  • Childcare and Preschool Roster Template

  • Workplace Roster Template

• Congregate Living Facilities:  Once your SPOT Intake Form is submitted, a confirmation email will be sent to the facility point of contact with COVID-19 outbreak information. A public health investigator will contact the facility the following business day to provide guidance on roster submission and next steps.
