@rutgerssph is working with @njdeptofhealth to prepare a diverse contact tracing workforce, a key step toward slowing the community spread of COVID-19 as the state begins to ease its social distancing guidelines.⁣ ⁣ This workforce will initially include students studying public health, social work and related fields at Rutgers and other schools across the state. ⁣ ⁣ With training tools developed by Rutgers, the state is seeking to train 1,000 contact tracers and possibly more depending on the progression of the pandemic.⁣ ⁣ To learn more about becoming a part of the Community Contact Tracing Corps, check out the "News" highlight and swipe up on the story 📩 ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ #RutgersPride #RutgersExcellence #RURahRah ⚔️🛡
