Contact tracing is an important public health tool to stop COVID-19 from spreading rapidly in communities. Here's how it works: If you have been in close contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19, Public Health will reach out to let you know you may have been exposed.... You must self-monitor for symptoms. Anyone showing symptoms should self-isolate and arrange to get tested. If you test positive, Public Health will reach out to all your close contacts and restart the process. If you get sick, tell Public Health about the people you’ve spent time with. It’s crucial to slowing the spread of COVID-19. https://www2.gnb.ca//c/promo/covid-19/about-covid-19.html

In cases where record-keeping is able to identify anyone who may have been exposed, officials contact these individuals directly and do not issue a separate announcement. In cases where officials cannot be certain of exactly who may have been exposed to the virus in a given location, Public Health issues an announcement to alert those who could have been affected and provide instructions.
