This course aims to provide managers and developers of contact tracing programs guidance on the most important indicators of performance of a contact tracing program, and a tool that can be used to project the likely impact of improvements in specific indicators. Students who complete the course will be proficient in using the Contact Tracing Evaluation and Strategic Support Application (ConTESSA) to estimate the impact of their contact tracing program on transmission and strategizing about how to increase their program’s impact. A secondary audience for the course will be decision makers interested in knowing more about the characteristics of effective contact tracing programs, and strategies to improve.

Really solid course and gets right to the point of teaching you how to use the tool. Hopefully this will help COVID19 reporting improve. Thank you for offering this!
The audio recording by Kyra have issues and some words are "inaudible" in the transcript. This means those video by Kyra are more difficult to understand what she is saying in addition to her accent.
Thank you very much for the wonderful ideas on how to stop or solve the spread of COVID 19 to the community and from infecting people around. Thanks a lot, ma'am and sir
I found much of this hard to understand. Watched all videos twice. I understand how to enter the data but struggled in the questions that asked to interpret the data.
