Monday, May 10, 2021 WHERE WE ARE TODAY 2
May 10, 2021 We have made free COVID-19 testing 3 broadly accessible.
COVID-19 tests are free, walk-up sites are open across DC, and now at- home testing kits are available.
May 10, 2021 We established and ramped up a 4 Contact Trace Force.
Contact tracers reach out to 98.1% of positive cases within 1 day, and 99.8% of close contacts within 2 days. Additionally, nearly 800,000 phones have opt-ed in to DC’s exposure notification tool.
May 10, 2021 We mitigated any strain on our 5 hospital system.
With the goal of never needing to use it, we built an Alternate Care Site and now we are dismantling it.
