Leveraging our knowledge and expertise, we understand that health officials do contact tracing to track and stop a disease outbreak. First, they find the sick and treat them while isolating them to prevent further transmission.  Next, these officials find who the sick have recently had contact with.  As a result, all contacts need testing and monitoring. The battle line against the spread of a contagious disease is drawn around each infectious person and their contacts.  If the contacts are tested in time, and the ones showing symptoms are isolated, the continued spread around this person should stop there. Contact tracing is fighting the COVID-19 at its source.  Knowing the contacts of the infected, points public health departments to who requires testing and then who requires monitoring and/or treatment.  Each newly discovered infectious case requires a new round of contact tracing around them- who have they had contact with while they were infectious, obviously before and after they were showing symptoms.  Testing shows us who is sick, the new cases, and who is not.  Treating, includes healing, and isolating the sick.  Contact Tracing finds the contacts that have been exposed by the new cases, and isolating them when necessary.  Tracking includes testing and re-testing of cases and contacts until they are in the clear.  Stopping the spread takes a multi-pronged ongoing approach¹.
