In terms of infection protection, notifiable communicable diseases and notifiable evidence of pathogens are reported to the public health department. These are then forwarded by the public health department to the Bavarian State Office for Health and Food Safety (LGL) and from there to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI). The aim is to prevent communicable diseases in humans, detect infections at an early stage and prevent them from spreading.
The Infection Protection Act (IfSG) obliges doctors in medical practices, hospitals and laboratories, for example, to notify the health authorities. A distinction is made between named notifications and non-named notifications.
Persons obliged to report must complete an electronic report or a report form and - depending on the disease - report it to the responsible health authority or the RKI.
The public health department forwards the pseudonymized data of the report to the LGL, which in turn forwards it to the RKI.
The deadlines are based on § 9 ff. of the Infection Protection Act.
According to the Infection Protection Act (IfSG), the suspicion of illness, illness and death in relation to COVID-19 and the detection of the SARS-CoV-2 pathogen, insofar as it indicates an acute infection, must be reported. The admission of a person to hospital in connection with COVID-19 must also be reported.
