In order to realize the vision of contact tracing and stem the tide of community spread of COVID-19 one critical component is ensuring an adequate and well-trained workforce.

This webinar discusses the work being done in Congress through the Health Force and Resilience Force Act of 2020, lessons learned from STD contact tracing efforts, and the ready workforce of Community Health Workers.
