Opinion | Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Rep. Andy Levin: 'Building the Coronavirus Containment Corps is more than a health imperative: it’s a plan to put Americans back to work.' - NBCNewsTHINK
. Our plan requires the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to outline a nationwide contact tracing strategy and provide funding that will enable state, local, territorial and tribal health agencies to staff up and perform this essential work — fast.
The Trump administration’s slow and dysfunctional response has been a disaster of epic proportions. That’s why Congress must step in. While we work to boost testing capacity and to ramp up the production of medical supplies, we must also rapidly expand our public health workforce to augment public health authorities’ capacity to investigate cases of COVID-19 and identify disease-positive individuals’ contacts; trace those contacts; and provide support to ensure those contacts can safely quarantine and break the chain of infection.
Building the Coronavirus Containment Corps is more than a health imperative: it’s a plan to put Americans back to work.
But this isn’t just a plan to employ Americans to do contact tracing. It is a plan to execute the steps that are essential to stopping the virus dead in its tracks, keeping our communities safe and restarting the American economy. We cannot hope to defeat a virus that so easily jumps state lines without a national contact tracing plan.
