Working long shifts, National Guard members scramble to ramp up contact tracing efforts

| August 22, 2020

In a chilling glimpse into just how quickly the government can start tracking everyone down, Hawaii News Now got an inside look at the state’s contact tracing program for COVID.

“COVID mapping” is the National Guard’s term for the practice of contact tracing, which consists of reaching out to someone infected with COVID-19 and then subsequently reaching out to people they have had close contact with to see who the virus may have spread to.

So what are the guardsmen doing in their role as modern day Big Brother *correction* public health and safety advocates?

The duties are comprehensive. All contact info is entered in a spreadsheet and depending if contacts follow quarantine regulations, closing a case could take 14 days or months.

“Contacting contacts that haven’t been told that they were, that they’ve been in contact with others,” Kayanan said.
