UK recruits more than 17,000 coronavirus contact tracers
The UK government is close to reaching its target of recruiting 18,000 contact tracers to help health authorities understand who may have been exposed to Covid-19 patients, Cabinet minister Michel Gove said Sunday.
“More than 17,000 people have been recruited for contact tracing, so we’re on course the meet that target,” Gove told Sky News.
Gove said the contact-tracing scheme should be up and running “by the end of this month.”
The job advert says contact tracers will be responsible for “liaising over the phone with Covid-19 patients, understanding their situation and assisting in the tracing and tracking of anyone they have been in contact with.”
