High-Consequence Infectious Disease Transportation Operations

The policy establishes the New York State Department of Health as the lead authority responsible for coordinating the transportation of patients with actual or suspected high‑consequence infectious diseases. It outlines a statewide framework that integrates EMS agencies, hospitals, and other partners into a unified response system. The State EMS Task Force serves as the operational arm for managing these transports, including activation, resource coordination, and specialized infection‑control measures.
