Default Florida Contact Tracing: Not So.

Non-existent.


As Florida sets records for Covid-19 cases, health authorities often fail to do contact tracing - CNN


"CNN spoke with 27 Floridians, or their family members, who'd tested positive for Covid-19. Of those, only five said they had received a call from health authorities asking for their contacts."

"It's unclear how many contact tracers are employed by the state of Florida, as spokespersons for the Department of Health gave CNN two different numbers.
"More than 1,600 individuals, including students, epidemiologists and other staff from across the Department, are currently involved in contact tracing every positive case of COVID-19 in Florida," Candy Sims, a spokesperson for the Florida Department of Health in Broward County wrote to CNN."

If you've been contacted after testing positive for CV19 in Florida, You're a Unicorn.

The Villages is flying"Blind" on CV19.
