当Eileen Carroll的女儿测试冠心病阳性时,罗德岛卫生官员呼吁结果,然后告诉她通知任何女儿可能一直存在的女儿。联系跟踪器,她被告知,太淹没了。

罗德岛沃德岛的Carroll说,为什么追踪者没有呼吁警告它首先暴露的家庭。幸运的是,她说,与Covid-19相对的亲戚在感恩节上已经发出了警告他们。

“他们说,'我们每天有500人,我们不能跟上这个,”卡罗尔说。

这是美国跨国和地方的同样的故事部门询问那些测试积极的人,警告朋友,家庭和同事本身,因为感染的灾难性飙升使得难以或不可能跟上认为对控制爆发至关重要的呼叫。

卫生官员表示,自己的追踪是不理想的,但由于感染和住院所飙升,它可能是到达可能存在风险的人最有效的方法。

美国超过1650万人被感染了,已被发现超过300,000人死亡,而官员恐惧传播只会因人们聚集在假期而变得更糟。

一些卫生部门没有被告知感染了几天,这使得在正面考验的24小时内不可能在24小时内拨打至少75%的人的联系人,这是必要的控制爆发所必需的。更重要的是,许多人不会拿起电话或拒绝在跟踪器呼叫时回答问题。有时,有太多的积极测试来称呼每个人。

“如果你没有带宽来跟上,那么你必须做出战略决定......我认为这是一个聪明的举措,”约翰霍金斯彭博公共卫生学院的传染病流行病学家艾米莉Gurley说要求人们警告自己的联系人。

北达科他州的健康部门削减了大部分时间10月份普通公众作为病毒飙升,限制了卫生保健设施,学校和大学和工作场所的努力。追踪者仍称之为在他们家庭之外测试积极的人,他在布伦顿Nesemeier中设立了Covid-19案例经理和现场流行病学家。

“我们意识到,我们需要优先考虑积极案件,因为它们是......潜在于社区中的人,他们是最有问题的人,”Nesemeier说。

“反过来,他们能够比我们的速度更快地达到他们的联系人,因为(人)更有可能回答a来自朋友,“他说。

Nesemeier说没有办法知道人们是否正在遵循,但是当北达科他正在进行全面的联系跟踪时,那些愿意分享他们联系人的信息通常已经已经告诉过他们。

Pennelope Denson,来自Riverview的19岁,密歇根州,靠近底特律,当时她的男朋友的母亲和哥哥大约两个月前遇到了肯定的时候,她得到了测试,并建议每个人都在做同样的事情。

发现她已经签订了九天,并在此后两天后,她接到了韦恩县卫生部门的联系方式。Denson说,追踪者只采用了父亲的信息,并告诉她打电话给其他人她可能已经存在。

她说,她的男朋友的母亲和兄弟从未在他们测试过的追踪后从追踪者中拨打电话,“所以没有人告诉我被隔离,但我自己做了。”

在索尔县的科尔县,其中包括杰斐逊城市的首都,当有人进行了测试时,他们会给一个数据包,其中包括关于结果的信息,如果结果恢复正面。

县卫生部门董事Kristi Campbell上个月宣布了自己自己的努力,称它是官员五到七天来学习积极的测试,并且追踪者并不总是获得所需的信息来称呼人们。

“我们必须超越传统联系跟踪的障碍,”Campbell在电视宣布中表示。“这将消除等待时间,希望阻止人们在不知不觉中传播病毒。”

在印第安纳州,卫生署最近表示,它将不再要求详细的症状清单,并鼓励人们称自己的联系人。追踪者仍然尝试收集联系信息,但“我们认识到这可能更快,很多人都不愿意回答文本或从未知号码呼叫,”发言人梅根·韦德 - ·拉克斯通过电子邮件表示。

测试和追踪是对疾病爆发的公共卫生反应的基岩,但两者都在美国的开始缓慢。当大流行持有时。不足的卫生部门必须雇用并训练足够的人进行追踪,然后经常遇到抵抗和怀疑。

现在,简单地没有足够的示踪剂来跟上。

Johns Hopkins流行病学家Gurley表示,即使联系跟踪计划不完整,缓慢,它们也会产生影响,因为许多人需要知道如何有效地隔离和在哪里获得食物,住房和租赁帮助。

“如果我们没有这些计划,那可能会更糟,”Gurley说。但她补充说,如果卫生部门有更多资源,它可能会更好。

“从一开始,公共卫生的谈话有点,”这是我们给你的资源,做到最好的事情。“但他们没有带宽来跟上,“Gurley说。

“我认为这是一个非常令人沮丧的,令人沮丧的例子,关于我们如何优先考虑这一点,以及我们今天的地方的原因之一,”她说。
