About the Course

The COVID-19 crisis has created an unprecedented need for contact tracing across the country, requiring thousands of people to learn key skills quickly. The job qualifications for contact tracing positions differ throughout the country and the world, with some new positions open to individuals with a high school diploma or equivalent. In this introductory course, students will learn about the science of SARS-CoV-2 , including the infectious period, the clinical presentation of COVID-19, and the evidence for how SARS-CoV-2 is transmitted from person-to-person and why contact tracing can be such an effective public health intervention. Students will learn about how contact tracing is done, including how to build rapport with cases, identify their contacts, and support both cases and their contacts to stop transmission in their communities. The course will also cover several important ethical considerations around contact tracing, isolation, and quarantine. Finally, the course will identify some of the most common barriers to contact tracing efforts -- along with strategies to overcome them....

I learned a lot from this course. There were things mentioned that I had not considered when first looking at the course. One of those things were the effectiveness of contact tracing through time.

Clear, concise and helpful. I did learn something about how isolation can end where it was depicted by the media that released cases were released irresponsibly, when in fact, protocol was followed.

I learned a lot, and I enjoyed the format of the lessons...easy to understand, and I could read the transcript if I chose to do so rather than view the videos if the pace was a little slower for me.

Although it may not be connected to this course, it would seem the survey monkey is connected. The questions regarding political affiliation were of no benefit to contact tracing or the coronavirus
