Summary of Contact Tracing

► We can stop transmission of COVID-19 if we can identify cases and their contacts quickly
and get them to limit their contact with other people

► Cases should isolate themselves as long as they are infectious—for at least 10 days after
they become ill

► Contacts must quarantine for 14 days after their last contact with an infectious patient

► Some cases may have close contact with many people because of where they have been
or where they live, and these situations should be immediately reported to your
supervisor
