For about two weeks, the city’s been contact tracing—finding people who’ve tested positive for the CCP virus—and reaching out to their contacts, people who they may have infected.
But the procedure has come into question.
The city is not requiring contact tracers to ask people if they’ve been to the recent Floyd and Black Lives Matter protests. Mayor Bill De Blasio says he’s concerned about a jump in positive cases because of these massive gatherings. And because of the unknown, he says he’s holding off on giving a date for the next step in reopening the city.
