Forms and Policies

This policy provides recommendations for severe acute respiratory infection before a specific pathogen has been identified (i.e., unknown respiratory pathogen), and is also intended to be used for any severe emerging respiratory pathogen if there is no disease specific protocol for the pathogen. This policy is applicable to physicians, nurses and other health professionals working in public health, primary care, specialty care, community health, and infection prevention and control. This policy is enforced by Manitoba Health, Seniors and Active Living.
