With coronavirus cases spiking in Indiana and all across the country, contact tracers have had to make changes. The Indiana Department of Health is no longer going to alert people who may have come into contact with someone who’s tested positive for the coronavirus. “We recognize we had to make some changes to our process because with more cases, interviews were taking much longer and we’re seeing cases lost to follow up,” said Indiana State Health Commissioner Kris Box. The department will only alert people who test positive for the virus and leave it up to them to tell anyone who they believe has been a close contact.
