COVID 19 Contact Tracing Materials

These materials were created for contact tracers in the Philippines to use as reference materials when visiting the homes of people exposed to COVID-19 and to leave with households.

The materials are based on formative research that found that citizens did not understand the purpose or importance of contact tracing and how it could protect their health and the health of their families. The materials also give contact tracers the information and confidence they need to approach people who may be fearful of their visit. The package includes household card, job aids, and social media cards.

The COVID Tracking Project

The COVID Tracking Project is a volunteer organization launched from The Atlantic and dedicated to collecting and publishing the data required to understand the COVID-19 outbreak in the United States.

Every day, their teams collect data on COVID-19 testing and patient outcomes from all 50 states, 5 territories, and the District of Columbia. The dataset is currently in use by national and local news organizations across the United States and by research projects and agencies worldwide. Their data API (which allows sites and apps to import our dataset automatically) receives about two million requests per day.

On April 15, they launched the COVID Racial Data Tracker, a partnership between the COVID Tracking Project and the Center for Antiracist Research that collects, publishes, and analyzes racial data on the pandemic within the United States.
