Contact tracing is a community effort.
First, everyone should work to minimize close contact with others as much as possible by practicing the 3 Ws:
- WEAR a cloth face covering in public settings.
- WAIT at least six feet apart. Avoid close contact.
- WASH your hands often or use hand sanitizer.
Second, it is important for anyone who is sick to stay home and avoid close contact with others. If you believe you may have COVID-19 or are diagnosed with COVID-19, you should tell anyone who you may have been in close contact with starting two days before you got sick that they may have been exposed.
Third, if you are diagnosed with COVID-19, work with MCPH to provide the information needed for contact tracing.
Fourth, if you are identified as a close contact, follow the self-quarantine recommendations to help prevent further spread in the community.
We encourage everyone to be part of the solution in keeping our community healthy and stopping the spread of COVID-19.
