Intro to Epidemiology
Contact tracing is a public health strategy used to identify and monitor individuals who have been in close contact with someone infected with an infectious disease. This process helps to interrupt the transmission of the disease by notifying contacts, advising them on testing and self-isolation, and gathering data to inform further interventions. It is essential in managing outbreaks and controlling the spread of infectious diseases.
