Contact Tracing Workforce

A Contact Tracing Workforce consists of trained individuals who identify and notify people exposed to a contagious disease, such as COVID-19. Their role is to gather information about recent contacts of infected individuals, inform those exposed about the risk, and advise on actions like testing or quarantine. This helps slow the spread of the disease by ensuring those potentially infected take appropriate precautions. The workforce may include health professionals, community members, and volunteers, working together to protect public health through timely and effective communication and intervention.
