After scaling back contact tracing efforts last November amid surging cases, New Hampshire’s Department of Health and Human Services says it has resumed investigating all new COVID-19 infections.
“We resumed contact tracing all cases on Feb. 2,” DHHS Communications Director Jake Leon wrote in an email. “Cases are still prioritized as before, so cases from high-risk groups take priority, but we are once again reaching out to everyone.”
New Hampshire health officials stopped doing universal contact tracing in November, focusing instead on high-risk populations: people under age 18 or over age 65, those living in communal settings or affiliated with health care facilities, communities of color, and those connected to clusters or outbreaks.
