The CDPH will hold a call on April 20th, 2016, to provide an overview of the Zika virus disease and California's response. Facilities are encouraged to send their questions to the CDPH by April 15th, 2016. Compliance with the CDC's guidance is crucial to prevent the spread of the virus and protect patients and staff. Non-compliance may result in potential consequences for healthcare facilities.
