    • Description:
      A successful notification of exposure allows for an exchange of information with the person exposed to COVID-19 (close contact) and offers an opportunity to answer questions and provide referrals for testing, medical evaluation, vaccination, and other support services. The goals of this interaction are to inform the person that they may have been exposed

      to COVID-19, assess their medical condition and other risk factors, and gather information for continued monitoring and support. Developing trust and an empathetic rapport, while maintaining a professional relationship, is key to connecting persons exposed to COVID-19 to resources for quarantine, testing, and vaccination.

      Case investigators and contact tracers have a primary purpose of preventing further spread of COVID-19 through timely identification of cases and contacts to isolate or quarantine

      if indicated. Prompt case investigation and contact tracing should remain the primary

      goal of the case investigation and contact tracing workforce. These public health workers can also help connect people to important prevention services and resources, such as COVID-19 vaccination.

      This document provides suggested communication approaches for COVID-19 contact tracing. Scripts may need to be modified to address locality-specific needs, including but not limited to highlighting available resources, cultural nuances, exposure sites, and the capture of epidemiological data. Public health workers should use what is helpful and the best fit for the interaction; all questions or statements may not be required, and additional probing questions may be necessary. Programs are encouraged to share best practices in framing and phrases as they are identified.
