Contract Tracing

As organizations are beginning to evaluate processes for reopening, most need tracking and monitoring capabilities for contact tracing in order to help control the spread of COVID-19.

Contact tracing allows agencies, organizations, and corporations the ability to record and monitor data about individuals who have contracted coronavirus or have come into contact with those who are infected. This also allows monitoring ongoing COVID-19 testing, as well as tracking of those individuals who need to be in quarantine or in isolation until they are no longer contagious.  

As organizations perform contact tracing tasks, they can also work with individuals who have tested positive to determine everyone they may have had close contact with while they are infectious, and to contact those individuals to warn them about possible exposure to coronavirus so they can also be tested and treated if necessary.
