Covid-19 contact tracers track down who may have had contact with someone who is sick
with Covid-19 in order to alert them, and quarantine individuals who may be contagious.

infectious periods, infection rats, and symptoms. Students will learn why contact
tracing is an essential public health intervention in stopping chains of transmission,
in association with widespread community testing. Students will learn how to conduct
effective contact tracing: investigation, tracing, cross-cultural communication, ethics,
and accurate data collection. Students will also gain valuable employment-readiness
skills, including effective interviewing. Class meets for three weeks. |

courses that are WIOA approved. The Medical Billing and Coding career field is for
those who want to work in health care. Medical Billing and Medical Coding are actually
two distinct jobs. Medical Billers are responsible for making sure everyone is billed
