How contact tracing works
If people have COVID-19, the Ministry of Health requires them to disclose anyone they may have encountered to see if they have also been infected. This process is called contact tracing.
There are 2 types of contacts:
close contacts, and
casual contacts
The Ministry will give advice on what these persons need to do.
How you can help
