Contact Tracing Investigations
With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, finding where it started and how it is spreading is an integral part of the safety and security of where you live and the country around you. While many government and health agencies are doing their best, many have leaned on private investigators, private detectives and private eyes to help in their contact tracing efforts.
What is Contact Tracing?
Contact tracing is a control measure employed by state and local health department personnel. It’s been used for decades and is a pivotal strategy to help prevent COVID-19 from spreading further. As the COVID-19 virus spreads quickly, many communities need to train a larger workforce within the public and even private agencies to halt the continued transmission of the COVID-19.
Contact Tracing Principles
• Contact tracing is a process that supports patients who are suspected of having a COVID-19 infection.
• Work with patients to help them recall everyone they’ve been in contact with during a specific timeframe.
• Warn exposed individuals of their potential exposure as fast and as sensitive as possible.
• Protect patient privacy by only informing individuals that they have been exposed to the COVID-19 virus but not who may have exposed them.
• Give these individuals information, support, and further education so they understand their risk and what is needed to reduce exposure to others and how to monitor themselves for the illness. It also educated individuals on how they can spread the infection even if they are not showing any symptoms.
• Individuals are encouraged to stay at home. They are also encouraged to maintain any social distancing standards until two weeks after their last exposure just in case they feel ill. Self-isolation is also encouraged if an individual develops symptoms.
The Skills Needed for Contact Tracing
With contact tracing, training, supervision, along with access to medical and social support for patients and contacts, is needed. Some knowledge is vital and is a pre-requisite to doing work as a contact tracer. Many of these are part of a private investigator’s expertise.
• Patient confidentiality. This includes conducting interviews without violating a patient’s confidentiality or local and state laws.
• Having an understanding of medical terms and the degrees of exposure, infectious period, infection, symptoms of the disease, and others.
• Skills that will build trust with a patient. This can be interpersonal skills, interviewing, cultural sensitivity as to develop and maintain trust.
• Necessary crisis counseling skills. The ability to refer patients and contacts for further care if the need arises.
• Locating patients and individuals who may hard to reach or reluctant to be engaged.
• Know when to refer individuals to proper resources.
Contact tracing is a critical aspect of halting the transmission of COVID-19. While many efforts have been utilized to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. The amount of staff needed to help move much of this forward is dependent on training, cases, and the number of patients already identified. Time is of the essence in every contact tracing investigation to help prevent its further spread and the safety of the public.
