"In the beginning, everything was in English," said Curbelo, the contact tracing volunteer."But I knew that people who spoke Spanish and were sick wouldn't want to take part in contract tracing because of the language barriers. Contact tracers need to speak with people and learn as much as they can for it to work."
It can take about 20 minutes for an investigator to conduct a thorough contact tracing interview, according to Larkin Community Hospital executive physician Jack Michel. The Latino community is also disproportionately effected by COVID-19. Current statistics released by the CDC show the percentage of Hispanic/Latino Americans making up coronavirus cases is almost equal to whites -- around 34% -- despite Latinos being a significantly smaller portion of the population.
"This was a huge effort," Michel said during a Zoom town hall related to the effort on Wednesday."It turns out, there's so much that goes into it. But we had volunteers who would immediately volunteer to take on and create videos and what they did is amazing."

Volunteers? Massachusetts government pays contact tracers and is involved with the process..Florida really needs to step up!
Comply and live it's a choice
They are doing God’s work, because the Republicans, especially in Florida, sure as hell ain’t.
