 *** Self-reporting, whereby contacts self-monitor and report any signs and symptoms to the contact tracing team. Self-reporting should be conducted daily, even if no signs or symptoms are present (so-called zero reporting).
 *** Contact tracers collect information on signs and symptoms from each contact on a contact tracing form on a daily basis. Electronic data capture tools should be used wherever possible (see section on Information technology). Table 2 outlines the minimum information that should be captured on the contact tracing form.

 The idea of contact tracing is to rapidly identify ALL persons who have been in close contact with a patient during the contagious period. Identified contacts should be (self) quarantined and monitored for the maximum duration of an incubation period, and tested as soon as symptoms appear. In some situations, testing can be added to the monitoring, regardless of symptoms. The aim is to identify new cases and isolate them timely.
+==WHO COVID19 Contact Tracing Guidelines==
 * Critical elements of the implementation of contact tracing are community engagement and public support; careful planning and consideration of local contexts, communities, and cultures; a workforce of trained contact tracers and supervisors; logistics support to contact tracing teams; and a system to collate, compile, and analyse data in real-time. <ref name="WHO-CT10may">[https://www.who.int/publications-detail/contact-tracing-in-the-context-of-covid-19 Contact tracing in the context of COVID-19]. Interim guidance 10 May 2020</ref>
 * Because individuals may transmit COVID-19 while pre-symptomatic or asymptomatic, this guidance also emphasizes the importance of quarantining contacts to further reduce the potential for secondary transmission. <ref name="WHO-CT10may"/>
 * Contact tracing may be difficult when the transmission is intense (community transmission) but should be carried out as much as possible. <ref name="WHO-CT10may"/>
 * When countries have passed the peak of transmission and case numbers are decreasing, and particularly when stringent public health and social measures are being adjusted, rapid identification of cases and contact tracing are critical to maintain low levels of transmission and rapidly identify and break new transmission chains.<ref name="WHO-CT10may"/>
