Oglaza added, “With the additional resources and help from the county we are going to be able to continue that work. As well, we’ll be able to maintain the level of case contact management as other tasks come our way. We know that already there are plans in place for the vaccination, the mass immunization. All of these plans are on the horizon which will ultimately be the most powerful tool in managing the pandemic. ”
“Keeping control of the spread through intensive case contact management is really the key in the local response.”
A public health manager Eric Serwatkin told council staff members are “literally exhausted” and the support from the county will be “a real uptick”.
