Who are you reporting them to?
Some organizations have policies related to this type of reporting - health care organizations come to mind. In fact, I worked at such an organization that developed and communicated a policy to 1) encourage employees with these types of symptoms to *not* come to work and 2) encourage other employees to let their manager and/or HR know if someone was at work with these types of symptoms.
My advice would be to check with your manager/HR department to see if your company has a policy related to this and, if not, suggest that they may wish to develop a policy and/or guidelines.
