Maryland is launching a robust contact tracing operation that will be fully operational across all 24 jurisdictions next week. We have more than quintupled our disease investigation capacity, and will now have more than 1400 case investigators statewide: https://governor.maryland.gov/2020/05/21/governor-hogan-announces-launch-of-robust-contact-tracing-operation-to-support-local-health-departments/

. @MarylandDoIT and @MDHealthDept partnered to develop COVID Link, a state-of-the-art data management platform, to facilitate the state’s contact tracing partnership with local officials. We will have the capacity to track 1,000 cases and 10,000 contacts on a daily basis.

This will be an all-hands-on deck effort to trace and isolate the virus. If you are called by a contact investigator, the caller ID will read MD COVID. They will ask about your health, whereabouts, and interactions for a specific period of time, & provide any necessary guidance.
