Hello Jeffrey,
My name is Sarah Nordberg and I am a legislative aide for Representative Marjorie Decker. Thank you for reaching out to ask about identifying information in case reporting so that people know whether they have come into contact with someone with COVID-19. The state is currently partnering with Partners in Health on the Massachusetts COVID-19 Community Tracing Collaborative. This initiative reaches out to the contacts of confirmed positive COVID-19 patients to help others who have been potentially exposed to the virus. You can learn more here: https://www.mass.gov/info-details/learn-about-the-community-tracing-collaborative. Those who have been in contact with someone with a confirmed positive COVID case will be contacted. I hope that this is helpful and that you are staying well.
Sincerely,
Sarah Nordberg
