A
So
contact
tracing
is
a
public
health
process
of
identifying
persons
who
have
been
in
close
contact
with
an
individual
with
a
suspected
or
confirmed
infection.
While
they
have
been
contagious
during
this
process,
public
health
staff
work
with
the
infected
persons
to
help
them
recall
everyone
with
whom
that
they've
had
close
contact
with
during
that
time
frame.
A
Contact
tracing
is
important
because
it
prevents
the
spread
of
disease
within
the
community.
The
contacts
are
provided
with
education
and
information
to
understand
their
risk,
and
they
are
required
to
stay
at
home
and
monitor
themselves
to
see
if
symptoms
or
an
illness
will
develop.
Some
contact
contacts
may
not
have
even
known
about
their
exposure
until
public
health
officials
reach
out
to
them.
A
So
when
a
contact
is
identified,
the
city's
public
health
staff
reaches
out
to
be
individual,
to
inform
them
about
their
exposure
and
to
talk
to
them
about
the
disease,
quarantine
II,
which
is
staying
at
home
and
not
going
anywhere
else
along
with
monitoring
his
or
her
symptoms.
In
the
case
of
kovat
19,
the
persons
will
monitor
themselves
by
checking
their
temperature
twice
a
day
and
watching
symptoms.
A
Dic
ative
at
:
19,
the
quarantine
period
for
Koba
19,
is
14
days
after
their
last
exposure
to
a
contagious
individual
context
who
develops
symptoms
should
promptly
isolate
themselves
and
notify
Evanston's
public
health
staff.
These
persons
should
speak
with
their
doctor
regarding
concerns
about
symptoms
or
to
discuss
a
need
to
be
tested
so
by
staying
at
home
and
complying
with
the
quarantine
requirements.
The
exposed
persons
are
no
longer
interacting
with
people
in
the
community
where
the
disease
is
more
likely
to
spread.
A
So
isolation
and
Quarantine
help
protect
the
public
by
preventing
exposure
to
people
who
have
or
may
have
a
contagious
disease.
Isolation
separates
sick
people
with
a
contagious
disease
from
people
who
are
not
sick,
quarantine,
separates
and
restricts
the
movement
of
well
people
who
were
exposed
to
a
contagious
disease
to
see
if
they
become
sick.
One
easy
way
to
remember
this
is
isolation
and
ill.
They
both
begin
with
the
letter
hi.
