Case investigation and contact tracing are important tools used to slow the spread of COVID-19 and help protect you, your family, and your community.
While still a vital tool in slowing the spread of COVID-19, Nebraska's contact tracing and case investigation strategy is changing due to more infectious variants like the Delta and Omicron variants.
Case investigators and contact tracers in some jurisdictions are focused on large clusters instead of individual cases. If you test positive for COVID-19 or are in close contact with someone who tested positive, you may not receive a live phone call from a contact tracer.
Instead, you may receive a text message from an automated text messaging service asking you to take a survey, it is important for you to respond and take the survey.
