On 23 August 2021, the government of Newfoundland and Labrador (NL) continues with comprehensive contact tracing after a positive covid test: "Regional Health Authorities perform contact tracing to find and isolate cases of COVID-19, which helps stop the spread of the virus. They do this by interviewing individuals diagnosed with COVID-19 and ask about contacts ...Individuals who are identified as close contacts of a positive case are notified by Public Health. Contacts often require testing and/or isolation. Contact tracing is detailed and time-intensive work, but is crucial during an outbreak to control the spread of COVID-19.” See government of NL and CBC news websites, archived: https://web.archive.org/web/20210823171142/https://www.gov.nl.ca/covid-19/public-health-guidance/covid-19/contact-tracing/ https://web.archive.org/web/20210823171536/https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/nl-covid-19-aug-20-2021-1.6147547
