If you are diagnosed with COVID-19, a public health worker may call you to check in on your health, discuss who you have been in contact with, and ask where you spent time while you may have been infectious and able to spread COVID-19 to others. If you are not doing so already, you will also be asked to stay at home and self-isolate.
Contact tracing is part of a public health process used in response to a confirmed COVID-19 or other infectious diseases. If an individual who has been in a school is lab-confirmed to have COVID-19, the school must notify the Texas Department of State Health Services (TXDSHS), in accordance with applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations, including confidentiality requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).
