Identifying and testing people who may have been in contact with a COVID-19 positive case is crucial to limit the spread of COVD-19. Contact tracing has been used during previous outbreaks but the scale of this pandemic means that we need to develop the lessons learned and apply them across whole countries using modern technology.
