Question:
To ask the Minister of Health how long it takes for contact tracers to contact people who need to self-isolate, having been in contact with people who have tested positive for COVID-19.

Answer:

The average time from the result being received in the Contract Tracing Service from the Central Test Registry until a call is successfully closed (i.e. all the case's close contacts have been contacted) in the 7 day period until 21 September 2020 was 2.15 days.
