ABSTRACT
Abstract: During the second covid-19 pandemic wave in November-December 2021 Prevention Departments had to face a hardly-sustainable workload of contact tracing and taking charge of the sars-cov2 positive case and of his or her close contacts. Also laboratories have been stressed in their ability to process timely the extraordinary load of swabs performed. In this context of hazardous delays, the Prevention Department of Belluno (Italy) tested its resilience: a simple and effective method of taking charge was implemented, by initially phoning to the positive case and imposing the isolation measure on him or her and later on proceeding with the conventional contact tracing.
