Contact Tracing and Monitoring

Contact tracing is an important step in reducing the spread of a contagious illness like COVID-19. Effective contact tracing can save lives, and it’s one of the keys to eventually reopening our communities.

If you are a close contact of a confirmed case, public health staff may call to alert you of your risk of infection.

Symptom Self-Checker
