Learning Points

• Keeping track of the virus. Some employees may not know they have been exposed to someone infected with COVID-19. Contact tracing tracks down any exposed employee and alerts them of their exposure so they can take proper precautions before they spread the virus further.
  
  
• Mitigating the virus internally.  Controlling the virus within an organization ensures that workers are healthy and able to continue operations.
  
  
• Stopping the spread of the disease. When contact tracing is done quickly, case investigators can keep confirmed and probable infectious employees away from the workplace before they are contagious.
  
  
• Having an emergency plan and contingency plans within an emergency plan, is critical for any business. What this pandemic has shown is how many businesses failed to plan properly for a critical incident.
