  Case investigation and contact tracing are the processes of working with a person (patient) who has been diagnosed with an infectious disease to identify and provide support to other people (contacts) who may have been infected through close contact with the patient. This process is a core disease control measure that has been employed by health department personnel for decades and is a key strategy for preventing the spread of COVID-19. Depending on the agency or jurisdiction, the case investigation and contact tracing roles may be carried out by separate cadres of personnel. The Case Investigator position focuses on activities involving people with laboratory-confirmed, probable, and suspected diagnoses of COVID-19. ; cdc.gov/coronavirus ; CS 318143-A ; 07/16/2020 ; COVID19-case-investigator-508.pdf
