Evaluation of the New York City COVID-19 case investigation and contact tracing program: a cascade of care analysis
T2 provided a large volume of NYC residents with timely notification and monitoring.

To strengthen future test-and-trace efforts, strategies are needed to encourage acceptance of local contact tracer outreach attempts.
