Contact Follow Up

Monitoring of contacts of probable and confirmed cases

• Contacts should be monitored daily for 14 days from the last unprotected exposure
• Contacts should self-limit travel and movements
• Any contact who becomes ill and meets the case definition becomes a suspect case, and should be isolated and be tested 
• List immediately all contacts of a symptomatic contact and begin following them up if the test result of the symptomatic contact becomes positive 
• Any newly identified probable or confirmed cases should have their own contacts identified and monitored
