Why Contact Tracing Efforts Have Failed To Curb Coronavirus Disease 2019 (Covid-19) Transmission In Much Of The United States
CLINICAL INFECTIOUS DISEASES(2021)
摘要
By late April 2020, public discourse in the United States had shifted toward the idea of using more targeted case-based mitigation tactics (cg, contact tracing) to combat coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) transmission while allowing for the safe "reopening' of society, in an effort to reduce the social, economic, and political ramifications associated with stricter approaches. Expanded tracing-testing efforts were touted as a key solution that would allow for a precision approach, thus preventing economies from having to shut down again. However, it is now clear that many regions of the United States were unable to mount robust enough testing-tracing programs to prevent major resurgences of disease. This viewpoint offers a discussion of why testing-tracing efforts failed to sufficiently mitigate COVID-19 across much of the nation, with the hope that such deliberation will help the US public health community better plan for the future.
