Test and Trace System

The Test and Trace system is a public health strategy designed to control the spread of infectious diseases like COVID-19. It involves testing individuals to identify who is infected, then tracing their recent contacts to notify and advise those potentially exposed. This way, infected people can isolate to prevent spreading the virus, and contacts can get tested or self-isolate as needed. The system relies on accurate testing, timely contact identification, and public cooperation to slow transmission and protect community health.
