Opinion: Contact tracing is the key weapon against covid-19
But in some localities, such as New Orleans, there are strivers at the helm who are going for an A: full suppression. The results were visible in April in a quick return to a very low level of case incidence from a high peak. Unfortunately, thanks to less ambitious efforts elsewhere in the country, New Orleans can count on repeat reintroductions of the disease. The city will have to keep up its hard work for longer than would be the case if everyone had pursued suppression upfront.

If you think you’ve been exposed in the past, seek an antibody test. If you think you’ve been recently exposed, seek a diagnostic test.without symptoms or prior to symptom onset. That’s why I embrace contact tracing.When I thought I might be infected with covid-19 , I had two separate concerns: I might have unknowingly infected my family or close associates, or I might have unknowingly infected strangers in public spaces.
What will the pandemic mean for each of us for the foreseeable future? It means: Know your status. Embrace contact tracing. Take the call. Take the test.
