Why are we contact tracing?

The purpose of contact tracing services is to track and prevent further spread of infections by identifying people who may have come into contact with an infected person.

By collecting further information about people who have been in contact with someone with COVID-19, we can notify them to self-isolate.

Contact tracing will protect the community, save lives and help us to avoid a future lockdown.
