The first Canadian Contingency Plan for Viral Hemorrhagic Fevers was
written and published in 1978. The contents of the document did not change
significantly over the next 10 years. However, in 1987, the task was begun
to update the document to reflect the changing worldwide trends in infectious
diseases. The current document specifically addresses evolving issues
related to viral hemorrhagic fevers; however, it could also be applied
to international outbreaks of other dangerous communicable diseases.
LCDC is grateful to all those who have contributed to the preparation
of this document over the years.
