Public health experts are warning that in order for the United States to keep people safe from the threat of the coronavirus, the country will need to raise an “army” of citizens to conduct contact tracing in order to identify who has been exposed to the virus.
“Contact tracing is defined as the identification and follow-up of persons who may have come into contact with an infected person,” the publication stated. In Michigan, where, as of Monday, nearly 32,000 people had tested positive for COVID-19, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer announced Monday that 2,000 volunteers had completed contact tracing training.
“Symptom monitoring should be conducted from the date of each person’s first contact with the case-patient continuing through 14 days after their last contact with the case-patient or for 14 days after the case patient’s isolation ends if in continued contact throughout their illness,” the guidelines state.
