Don’t wait on contact tracers to notify others, official said

With the number of cases under investigation by contact tracers piling up, health officials ask that people who know they have a confirmed case of COVID-19 go ahead and reach out to people they have been in close contact with to let them know. And if waiting on test results due to symptoms, isolate. The county added 93 more positives since yesterday afternoon’s report, pushing the community active case count to 896. Meanwhile, the number of cases under investigation by contact traces, who work to determine the exposure route and notify likely close contacts, has reached 685.
