Why contact tracing is 'a skill and an art' in the fight against COVID-19, and how it works

How many people doing tracing do you have now compared to before?

We want to know how you are, if you need any medical support that referral is made then. We really want to know two main things - are you isolated at home, that’s really important for public safety, and then if you can tell us your list of people you’ve had contact with in the last 14 days and maybe the places you’ve been.

In the Saskatoon area it’s in the thousands. Each case on average in Saskatoon we have called at least seven other people.We know about them, we know how they’ve been used in other settings and we’re kind of trying to view them and understand them in the Canadian context. But this is an area that’ll be very new and innovative and we really have to get public support and buy-in.

In general, how should people be feeling about the state of the pandemic in Saskatchewan and the risk it poses?
