Want to be part of the COVID-19 solution? Just answer the call.

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, along with Partners In Health, has created the COVID-19 Community Tracing Collaborative (CTC). This program focuses on reaching out to the contacts of confirmed positive COVID-19 patients to help others who have been potentially exposed to the virus. CTC gets their information about positive COVID-19 patients from data that all hospitals are required to report to the state. However, one of the biggest obstacles that CTC has right now is getting people to respond to their calls. Here is where you can help. Please share with your friends and families that if they get a call or text from “MA COVID team” with either an 833 or 857 area code, that they should answer their phone. The information provided on these calls can help flatten and reduce the curve in Massachusetts.

For more information about Massachusetts’ contact tracing initiative, see https://www.mass.gov/info-details/learn-about-the-community-tracing-collaborative.
