Dear Donor,
Thanks to your generous support, we continue encouraging communities to cooperate with contact-tracing teams and understand why follow-up is necessary after potential exposure.
Contact tracing can help health teams identify people who may have been exposed, monitor their health, and arrange appropriate assistance if symptoms develop. Community trust is therefore essential.
Our awareness work emphasizes that contact monitoring is a protective public-health measure rather than a reason for fear or stigma. We encourage families to provide accurate information and communicate openly with health workers.
The scale of the task remains significant. ECDC reported that 78.7% of identified contacts in affected DRC provinces were under follow-up as of the latest reporting period.
Your support helps strengthen the community cooperation that makes surveillance and contact tracing possible.
Project reports on GlobalGiving are posted directly to globalgiving.org by Project Leaders as they are completed, generally every 3-4 months. To protect the integrity of these documents, GlobalGiving does not alter them; therefore you may find some language or formatting issues.
