There is no doubt that the outbreak of the coronavirus has been one of the most monumental events this world has experienced. The spread of the virus disrupted supply chains, crippled economies, and left many dead. The dangerous nature of the virus prompted several governments to react, however, these governments continue to struggle with the virus.
In all of this, there is a particular tool that has proven extremely useful in the struggle against COVID and that is ‘Contact Tracing”. F.H. Cann & Associates is one of the companies that offer this service.
Although F.H. Cann & Associates specializes in developing a contact center, loan servicing, financial recovery, and business process outsourcing solutions. The company decided to start offering contact tracing services in the wake of the virus.
We were able to secure an interview with a spokesperson from the company and we discussed contact tracing as well as the rationale behind the company’s decision to offer this service.
What exactly is contact tracing?
Contact tracing has been a veritable tool to slow the spread of the coronavirus. The way it works is that once a person infected with the virus has been identified, the health officials carry out contact identification.
This means the identification of people the patient has recently been in close contact with. Such persons are then listed as contacts and are informed about their status.
These contacts are then given directives to take precautions to prevent the further spread of the virus. These precautions could include self-quarantine, testing, and observing symptoms.
