Contact Tracing: The first step to reopening America

As outlined in the White House’s Opening up America Again Guidelines, States have several responsibilities to ensure they satisfy specific gating and health criteria necessary to reopening businesses and schools. The ability to trace contacts is a critical component of the transition because it allows public health agencies to effectively and efficiently contact individuals with symptomatic and asymptomatic COVID+ results which is key to stopping the spread.

States Implement LexisNexis Risk Solutions Contact Tracing to Fight COVID-19 Pandemic

Our reliable and adequate contact detection capabilities, backed by our expansive library of public records, are helping state and county health departments trace contacts for a large number of individuals diagnosed with the Novel Coronavirus with three key areas of focus in mind.

1. Key contact details: For effective contact search of individuals with COVID-19, public health agencies require accurate identity and address information, as well as up-to-date phone numbers and e-mail addresses to assist in their outreach to affected individuals and their community.
2. Relatives, associates and neighbors: It is critical to stop the spread of the virus of COVID-19 by determining and contacting infected individuals’ connections – relatives, associates, and neighbors. This action also allows agencies to further educate the population, and enables early intervention for treatment before symptoms arise or worsen.
3. Impact analysis: A key analysis around how socioeconomic data impact the effects of COVID-19 is critical for continued research purposes and monitoring of the disease over time to identify and prevent future virus outbreaks.

This analysis is performed by appending race and ethnicity, median house hold income with driver’s license, voter registration and Census data. This is one example of an effective workflow but there are many options available to suit various needs. Any of these solutions can be quickly implemented for agency use to boost the fight against COVID-19 pandemic and reopen local economies across America.

The Empty Promises of Other Solutions

Be careful. Other solutions may claim to incorporate public records data, however they typically use a limited number of sources, such as utility and telecommunications data, or they draw upon only one bureau’s credit data; these sources do not always include unbanked or underbanked populations, which are not excluded from contracting infectious diseases.
