About the Course

The COVID-19 crisis has created an unprecedented need for contact tracing across the country, requiring thousands of people to learn key skills quickly. The job qualifications for contact tracing positions differ throughout the country and the world, with some new positions open to individuals with a high school diploma or equivalent. In this introductory course, students will learn about the science of SARS-CoV-2 , including the infectious period, the clinical presentation of COVID-19, and the evidence for how SARS-CoV-2 is transmitted from person-to-person and why contact tracing can be such an effective public health intervention. Students will learn about how contact tracing is done, including how to build rapport with cases, identify their contacts, and support both cases and their contacts to stop transmission in their communities. The course will also cover several important ethical considerations around contact tracing, isolation, and quarantine. Finally, the course will identify some of the most common barriers to contact tracing efforts -- along with strategies to overcome them....

The professor gives a very clear description of the role contract tracers play. In addition, the example videos they provide with the within-lecture questions helped keep me active during the lecture.

This course was very informative not just as it relates to Covid-19 but also in the way we should deal and interact with people. Enjoyed learning about the time frames for incubation, isolation etc.

Very informative and clear. I thought I knew a lot about COVID-19, but I learned a lot of new material. The pace is slow, but I found that helped the information sink in deeper than if someone had hurried through it.

I highly recommend this course. I am now capable of helping my community health staff on fighting against the SARS-CoV-2 infection outbreak.

Now, I can help my neighbourhood, and even my community as a contact tracer.

A worthwhile course on Contact Tracing focused on Covid-19 that teaches the basics of viral infection and protocols for tracing transmission. The course emphasizes the use of soft skills and effective communication.

I enjoyed this course. It was articulate, the modules were informative and easy to follow. I took notes just in case I needed them to pass the final test but I did it on my own without looking at them and made an A !

Sehr informativer Kurs, hilfreich für das Verständnis eines Aspektes in Bezug auf Covid-19, welcher nicht direkt in die Kompetenz eines niedergelassenen Arztes fällt. Danke für dieses kostenlose Angebot.

For the most part,this this Covid-19 Contact Tracer course was very informative and the platform quite clear. I did feel there was some contradictory information and possibly more information could've been explained.

Outstanding !

Everyone should take this course, regardless if they chose to be a contact tracer.

As a "citizen of the world," this should be required.

Great job, and thanks to Mr. Bloomberg and Johns Hopkins University.

It was very informative. In spite of being a medical professional I learned so many aspects of contact tracing. A good combination of information about Covid-19 and communication skills needed for a contact tracer.
