Public health experts worry that contact tracing and other tactics to control the spread of the coronavirus will be undermined by rising mistrust in government in the wake of George Floyd’s death.
Health experts need newly infected people to remember and recount everyone they’ve interacted with over several days in order to alert others who may have been exposed, and prevent them from spreading the disease further. But that process, known as contact tracing, relies on people knowing who they’ve been in contact with — a daunting task if they’ve been to a mass gathering.And the process relies on something that may be suddenly be in especially short supply: Trust in government.
