Department of Health Dec. 13-19 Update On COVID-19 Investigations, Contact Tracing, Monitoring Efforts: Pennsylvanians Urged To “Answer the Call” And Download the COVID App
12/28/2020
Harrisburg, PA – The Department of Health today shared its weekly update on Pennsylvania’s COVID-19 case investigation and contact tracing data and encouraged Pennsylvanians to download the COVID Alert PA app, as more than 720,000 have already done, to aid in contact tracing efforts. All 67 counties have substantial COVID-19 transmission rates.
“Last week we launched the Connect & Protect Form to reach many more Pennsylvanians for a digital case investigation, but that still requires residents to answer the call. We continue to ask all Pennsylvanians to answer the call – answer the call when a public health professional is calling and answer the call to do your part to control the spread of COVID-19 by wearing a mask, social distancing, avoiding gatherings, downloading the COVID Alert PA,” Secretary of Health Dr. Rachel Levine said. “Together, by using these tools, we can stand united in the fight against COVID-19.”
