  • Description:
    Digital contact tracing tools vary in purpose, features, and complexity, but they can add value to traditional contact tracing efforts by:

    • Improving the efficiency and accuracy of data management and automating tasks;

    • Reducing the burden of data collection on public health staff by allowing electronic self-reporting

    • by cases and contacts;

    • Using location data to identify community contacts unknown to the case to look at possible exposure.

    Public health staff may have different contact tracing challenges, making a one-size-fits-all solution unlikely. Below are some items to consider when selecting the best tool for contact tracing.
