Washington Begins Contact Tracing: Here's How It Will Work

WASHINGTON — Gov. Jay Inslee announced the launch of a contact tracing program in Washington designed to track new infections of the coronavirus and stop it from spreading further.

"It is robust, it is vigorous, it is comprehensive," Inslee said on Tuesday. "We think of this as a smart weapon against this virus."

The program will isolate or quarantine those who may have been in contact with the coronavirus. In the governor's conference announcing the program Tuesday, Inslee broke contact tracing down into five essential steps:

1. Quarantine Upon First Symptoms: anyone showing signs of a coronavirus infection is first asked to stay isolated until they can get tested for the virus.
