Contact tracing for infectious disease has been a key element of effective public health for much of the last century. The rapid spread of COVID-19 has highlighted both the necessity and the challenge of functional contact tracing efforts. The sheer scale and speed of COVID-19 infections coupled with suspicion of public health motives have hampered the ability of health systems to engage in effective contact tracing. In this webinar, we will explore the origins of contact tracing through the experience of tuberculosis (TB). Faculty will explore how public health officials addressed stigma, community engagement and training to develop contact tracing for TB. We will then pivot to the current reality of contract tracing for COVID-19 by highlighting the experience of a health center in Pennsylvania that developed effective contact tracing in the agricultural worker population. Finally, the faculty will explore current partnerships with farmworker community organizations to address fear around contact tracing and vaccines. These partnerships include the development of patient education resources which we will share with webinar participants.
