COVID-19: Answer the Call to Help Slow the Spread |
DuPage County Health Department (DCHD) Case Investigators and Contact Tracers are reaching out to individuals who have COVID-19 and their close contacts*. Through these calls, they ensure that anyone who has COVID-19, as well as their close contacts, has the necessary support to isolate or quarantine safely. Please do your part; answer the call and provide our staff with all the information needed to help slow the spread of COVID-19 in our communities.
*Close contacts are individuals who have been within 6 feet for 15 minutes or more with a person with COVID-19 or have had direct contact with fluids from a person with COVID-19 (for example, being coughed or sneezed on, sharing eating or drinking utensils), or have had direct physical contact with a person with COVID-19 (hugged or kissed them), or have provided care at home to someone who is sick with COVID-19.
