SARATOGA COUNTY With COVID-19 case numbers in the county surging in recent weeks, Saratoga County is planning to hire an additional 25 contact tracers to handle a volume of contact investigations that threatens to overwhelm county Public Health Services.
The county Board of Supervisors on Tuesday approved the hiring of up to an additional 25 contract tracers at a rate of $25 per hour, bringing the total number of tracers the county has authorized hiring from 50 to 75. The board also authorized hiring an additional five tracing supervisors, who would earn $30 per hour.
Funding for the positions will come from a $1 million allocation supervisors approved last spring to pay for the county’s response to COVID-19 but county officials are also hoping for a state reimbursement.
