What is the primary goal of contact tracing in public health?
|
To stop the spread of diseases by identifying and informing contacts |
|
Contact tracing aims to break chains of transmission by notifying exposed individuals, prompting them to quarantine or get tested, thus preventing further spread.
|
According to WHO and systematic reviews, contact tracing is primarily used to interrupt ongoing transmission, reduce spread in the population, alert contacts about exposure, and offer follow-up actions like testing or quarantine—forming a key prevention strategy.
