About COVID-19
Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses, some causing illness in people and others that circulate among animals, including camels, cats and bats. Rarely, animal coronaviruses can evolve and infect people and then spread between people such as has been seen with recent outbreaks of MERS and SARS.
Contact Tracing
Contact tracing is critical to quickly identifying where COVID-19 is present and preventing the spread of this virus. Contact tracers help to do this by calling each individual who has received a positive test result. This is a confidential phone call.
