How can I choose the right reason for the immediate notification when an exceptional event occurs in my country (first occurrence, recurrence, etc.)?

Please first check in Handistatus II and in WAHIS the historical data regarding the disease situation in your country (for example, first occurrence in the country means that the disease has never been reported in your country; recurrence: when did the disease occur previously?).

You can find further explanations on this topic on the Notification Procedures.

A helpful diagram is available on the WAHIS "create an immediate notification" screen on the link "Help me choose".
