What is contact tracing?
According to the WHO Global Team at The World Health Organization:
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, contact tracing has become a part of everyday life with the primary goal of helping track and trace individuals who may have been exposed to an individual who has been infected with the novel coronavirus.
Why is contact tracing important?
To maintain control in a pandemic, various measures are taken to help flatten the curve of infection and reduce pressure on healthcare providers. Businesses that are open to the public, in line with national guidelines, must be able to provide contact details of people visiting their premises in case they may have been in contact with somebody who tested positive for COVID-19. This allows health agencies to contact those at risk and advise them of the correct steps to take, such as to self-isolate for 14-days.
