Contact Tracing for COVID-19 is a 16-hour instructor led online live training course that uses an activity-based approach to build and enhance the knowledge base, skills and discipline necessary to effectively conduct contact tracing. This course requires a prerequisite self-paced online course for the purpose of providing a nationally recognized consistent foundation of knowledge related to COVID-19 and contact tracing.

Through a series of case studies, simulations and role playing, participants will get the necessary practice in a safe environment. A variety of situations and scenarios from mild to wild, gives participants confidence and experience, along with the ability to fail in a safe environment and learn from it moving forward. This will increase the likelihood they will successfully fulfill their role for the community as an effective contact tracer. This will be accomplished by working together in teams and using the process approach of PDCA (plan, do, check, act) to develop, conduct, study and report on all activities.

All course materials and activities (FAQ’s, checklists, forms, case studies, simulations, role plays, etc.) will integrate and build upon the following four topics and associated objectives:
