Contact tracing has become a fast-growing job opportunity with many people still out of work
Contract tracing entails calling close contacts of confirmed Covid-19 patients, providing them with information about the disease and encouraging them to self-quarantine for 14 days to potentially avoid infecting others and possibly a discussion about getting tested.
For individuals who have found themselves out of work over the last few months due to the coronavirus outbreak,is becoming an unexpected job opportunity. Contract tracing entails calling close contacts of confirmed Covid-19 patients, providing them with information about the disease and encouraging them to self-quarantine for 14 days to potentially avoid infecting others and possibly a discussion about getting tested.
To help enlist tracers across the country, Johns Hopkins has created a free online course for contact tracing. The class takes some six hours to complete. Sharfstein said more than 250,000 people have enrolled so far and 70,000 people have passed. The course covers how the virus is transmitted, the ethics of contact tracing and confidentiality, as well as interviewing techniques through both lectures and role-playing for trainees.
