The course was clear and interesting. It helped me to see that each case or contact must be handled with care and empathy to help each of them understand the urgency to the community. People need to know that we will be there to help them during an extremely uncertain time.

This has been a very informative course. Even if I choose not to go into the contact tracing field directly, the information learned in this course is valuable. Everybody should know the basics about this virus, the contagious time, infection time, and what to look out for.

This was a very thorough, very clear, well presented course. I especially liked the videos that modeled Interactions with cases. These provided opportunities to see strategies applied, and how to do them optimally, and how NOT to do them. Thanks for offering this course.

Thought the course imparted and taught the material needed to understand COVID-19 and its infectious state and how to communicate with CASE and CONTACT persons. Should support the effort to reduce the spread of this disease IF the government decides to use contact tracers.

Very organized and well explained course. Great for people who would like to learn all about Covid-19 from a trusted resource. Half of the course then concentrates on the methodology of contact tracing, which is mostly beneficial if you're going to work as a contact tracer
