A Closer Look at Contact Tracing Via the Vigo County Health Department

A Closer Look at Contact Tracing Via the Vigo County Health Department
COVID-19 is still present and spreading in Vigo County. If you must go out in public please take precautions such as wearing a mask, social distancing, and washing your hands.

To help alleviate confusion about contact tracing, the Vigo County Health Department has released an infographic illustrating how tracing works and how COVID-19 can originate from even a small party.

In this specific infographic, the small party of five spread COVID-19 to a pool party, followed by a house party, and then to a graduation party. People were not wearing masks or practicing social distancing. This led to 31 confirmed cases of COVID-19.

Contact tracing like this is important to show the community how easily COVID-19 is spread, especially when simple steps like wearing a mask and social distancing does not take place.
