Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Covid-19: Update on Testing and Tracing and Rising Incidence in the State
Dr. John Cuddihy:
Yes.
On the retrospective contact tracing, we are planning to proceed with an enhanced surveillance project looking at the previous 14 days for more recent community transmission cases. We will then incorporate that into the contact tracing system afterwards. To get some information in the next number of weeks, we want to proceed with that enhanced surveillance project as early as next week.
