Code gray: infectious disease
Code pink: infant abduction
Code red : fire
Code orange: radioactive incident

There isn't a specific code for each infectious disease.

5. Code Gray, another important program at NCH, has established a protocol for paramedics to immediately assess the condition and needs of patients who suffer a recognizable stroke. Immediate x-ray diagnosis is key. Approximately 80% of strokes are thrombotic (blood vessel blockage by clot) and can be treated with brain-saving drugs. In order to minimize the effects of this type of stroke, the patient must undergo treatment within three hours of the stroke's onset.

Both hospitals have been reopened. It has been determined that the patient in question did not have an infectious disease according to the NBC-2 web site.
