The National Alliance of Research Associates Programs (NARAP) is offering the COVID-19 Potential Contact Tracer Registry as a clearinghouse for public agencies looking for COVID-19 Contact Tracers among pre-health professions students.
Contact Tracers represent among the best currently available public health interventions to halt the spread of coronavirus infections.
Tracing
- involves in-depth telephone calls to Cases, those determined to be infected
- follow-up calls to their Contacts at risk for becoming infected
- encouraging isolation for Cases and quarantine for Contacts,
- insuring the availability of resources to accomplish these crucial measures
- assessing for symptoms of deterioration.
