OHA has issued temporary new recommendations to local health authorities, streamlining protocols for contact tracing and case investigations during the current surge in cases. The recommendations are intended to direct resources to serving at-risk people and vulnerable populations. The recommendations for case investigation include:
Reducing the number of questions to prioritize health interventions and focus on people most at-risk of serious illness. Limiting calls or texts to persons who test positive while still connecting them to support services. Provide workplace notifications to high-consequences businesses and congregate care facilities. The recommendations for contact tracing include: Prioritizing contact to high-risk individuals. Eliminate active monitoring for 14 days. Limiting interactions to a single interview.
