Introduction: Several countries, including Indonesia, have made tracing efforts to control the spread of infectious diseases such as COVID-19. In carrying out this tracing, it is not only about tracing close contacts but also about digging up some information related to the epidemiological characteristics of COVID-19. So this information can be useful in analyzing the future incidence of disease or health problems. This paper aims to analyze the management of tracing and epidemiological characteristics of close contacts with COVID-19 in Primary Health Care (Puskesmas). Especially Primary Health Care in Pengasih I, Pengasih II, Sentolo I, and Sentolo II. Methods: The design of this study is a type of descriptive epidemiological research with retrospective data. Retrospective data were analyzed descriptively regarding the epidemiological characteristics of close contact with COVID-19. They then tested the formulation of the hypothesis with univariate, bivariate, and multivariate data analysis. Total sampling was utilized for the study from February 1st to March 3rd, 2022. Results: Contact tracing was carried out by following the guidelines for tracing implementation issued by the government. Close contact data is 1,450 and dominated by women aged 16-54. The frequency of asymptomatic is more than that of symptomatic. There are 535 close contacts whose status changed to confirmed cases. Conclusion: Close contacts have the risk of undetected infection, so early control of close contact can control the spread of the COVID-19 outbreak. Therefore, tracing efforts by health workers aimed at early detection of close contacts and quarantine measures for close household contacts are appropriate to break the chain of transmission of COVID-19 so that this tracing can be achieved.
COVID19 virus spreads very fast and can result in death. COVID19 incident has also impacted all sectors of life. Governments in many countries made various efforts to control the rate of transmission including developing and implementing contact tracing for COVID19. Contact tracing or tracing systems is a priority effort to contain the spread of the coronavirus and reduce mortality due to covid19. This paper aims to analyze the implementation covid-19 tracing system as an effort to restrain the covid-19 outbreak. The following bibliographic databases were searched to identify potentially relevant documents: SCOPUS, EBSCOHost, EMERALD, ScienceDirect, and PubMed. The search strategy was developed by the first author and further refined through team discussions. The final search results are exported to EndNote, and duplicates are removed automatically and manually. Then for the report format, follow PRISMA. 12 articles were included in the review. We found several things in analyzing the implementation of contact tracing such as the impact of implementing contact tracing, contact tracing management, and obstacles to implementing contact tracing in controlling covid19 outbreak. Contact tracing or tracing systems have a positive impact on reducing and controlling the transmission and spread of the COVID19 disease.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
