    Updated Dec. 23, 2020

    • In April 2020, CDC introduced the COVIDTracer tool, which allows users to explore the impact of up to 3 user-defined contact tracing strategies in their own jurisdictions and to assess the personnel and time that will be needed to effectively execute the strategies.

    • NEW! In December 2020, CDC introduced the COVIDTracer Advanced tool, which extends this capability by allowing users to distinguish the impact of interventions by three age groups in terms of changes in the numbers of COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations, as well as changes in direct medical costs.

    COVIDTracer and COVIDTracer Advanced are spreadsheet-based tools that allow state- and local-level public health officials and policy makers to compare the effectiveness, and the resources needed, of three user defined contact tracing and monitoring strategies.

    Both tools allow you to estimate the potential effectiveness of each of the three strategies, the average number of contacts per case, and the time needed for case interviews and contact tracing follow-up activities. Then, you can compare the potential effectiveness of each strategy to a baseline situation. A baseline situation includes ongoing non-pharmaceutical interventions, such as mask wearing and limiting public events.
