    COVIDTracer v1 Beta Test Version

    This manual accompanies the software tool COVIDTracer, beta version 1.0, released by CDC and available at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/daily-life-coping/COVIDTracer.html.

    COVIDTracer allows users to explore, relative to interventions such as social distancing interventions, several contact tracing strategies using data inputs that reflect their particular jurisdiction to assess the personnel and time that will be needed to conduct contact tracing effectively. COVIDTracer also provides numerical results and graphs of the potential impact of contact tracing efforts on COVID-19’s spread in comparison with social distancing interventions. This comparison aims to aid public health officials and policy makers to decide which strategy is likely to provide the most control with the available resources.
