COVID-19 remains a serious health concern and Public Health is actively working to slow its spread, if not stop it.
It's Public Health's job to identify those with a contagious disease and track or trace everyone they've had contact with. This is called contact tracing.
Once a person has been identified with a contagious disease, Public
Health Epidemiology staff or representatives will interview this
person and/or their relatives to find out where they've been and who
they've been in contact with. Then, the staff or representative will
attempt to contact those people by phone, email or may go directly go
to homes or other locations where people may have been in contact with
the person carrying the disease to conduct further interviews and
recommend treatment, if needed.
The information you provide can not only help keep you and your
family from getting sick, but it will also be invaluable in slowing
the spread of COVID-19, as well as any contagious disease.
Tracking down people who may have been in contact with a disease-carrying person is tough, tedious work. But it's a necessary task because it helps keep contagious diseases from spreading rapidly, allows public health to act preventively to keep others from getting infected --AND it can save lives.
