Contact Tracing is the process used to identify those who come in contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19 or other contagious diseases. Brick and mortar businesses are contact tracing by having their guests fill out a form with a pen and paper. Some business are taking temperatures and asking for your name and email.
Key Insights
Contact Tracing begins if someone tests positive for COVID-19. Health care officials would then start contacting everyone that had been in contact with that person. A NPR survey on 41 states’ contact tracing efforts found that, on average, a state has 7,324 workers on staff. Health experts say the number of dedicated contact tracing workers should be between 100,000 and 300,000, nationally, meaning that the current workforce is far short. These procedures are very important to help break the chain of transmission and slow the spread of COVID-19.
