Contact Tracing Info
• While there are cases across all ages, there are growing
numbers of cases in people in their teens to mid 30’s.
• The number of contacts per case is growing. Before it was
rare to have even 10 contacts per case. Now we’re
routinely seeing 10-20 contacts per case and sometimes
more than that.
• Contacts for the growing number of cases are across all
ages
• Contacts are happening at parties, restaurants, bars, malls
and shopping centers.
