Abstract

Dear Editor, COVID‑19 is still a global challenge to be managed. This infection has caused worldwide crises resulting in more than 104 million infected persons worldwide. As disease containment depends on several factors, a strict regimen for disease controlling and surveillance is necessary. For controlling the outbreak, case identification is needed. When there is a newly detected case, identification of at‑risk persons in contact with the patient is needed and it might be sometimes difficult.
