Contact tracing is one of the critical measures that needs to be taken to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in the middle of the ongoing pandemic.
When someone tests positive, all the people they’ve been in close contact with during the time they might have been infected are notified and encouraged to stay home and maintain social distance from others until 14 days after their last exposure.
That’s what the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says.
However, if the reported health-and-safety measures Major League Baseball has proposed for a shortened 2020 season come to fruition, the sport will ignore those guidelines.
