Course Overview
To stop the spread of illness, the process of "contact tracing" involves locating, warning, and keeping track of people who may have been in contact with someone who has a proven or probable cause of an infectious disease like COVID-19. Johns Hopkins University developed the COVID-19 Contact Tracing certification course, which is offered through Coursera and is instructed by Emily Gurley, Ph.D., MPH & Associate Scientist.
COVID-19 Contact Tracing online classes focuses on explaining to the participants the science behind SARS-CoV-2, such as the clinical manifestation of COVID-19, the infectious period, and the scientific proof of how SARS-CoV-2 is transmitted from individual to individual, as well as the reasons why contact tracing can be such a successful public health intervention. The COVID-19 Contact Tracing online course consists of 6 hours of lectures that cover the strategies and methodologies for conducting contact tracing, such as how to establish rapport with patients, find out who their contacts are, and help both and their contacts limit transmission in their societies as well as teaches about the ethics of isolation and quarantine.
