    • Description:
      Contact tracing is an effective disease control strategy that involves investigating cases and their contacts and then interrupting disease transmission—typically by asking cases to isolate and contacts to quarantine at home voluntarily. Contact tracing is a key strategy to prevent the further spread of COVID-19.

      Case investigation is the identification and investigation of patients with confirmed and probable diagnoses of COVID-19 (cases). Contact tracing, also referred to as contact investigation, is the identification, monitoring, and support of the individuals (contacts) who have been exposed to the patient and possibly infected themselves. This process prevents further transmission of disease by separating people who have (or may have) an infectious disease from people who do not.
