a. Identify contacts by interviewing patient or other informants b. Interview all identified contacts to evaluate need for PH follow-up Monitor contacts with high- or low-risk exposures for 21 days following last exposure Release on 22 nd day following last exposure 1. Identification and interviewing 2. Active monitoring 3. Discharge

At ANY point in this process you may encounter contacts with symptoms of Ebola. You must know and be able to carry out your LHD procedure to safely respond to this situation.

EID EXXX 1. Every case and potential contact receives a unique ID Contact ID Number n NNNN-XXX Contact ID Number 1 NNNN-XXX 3. If any contact becomes a case they also receive an NC EDSS Event Number: 2. For each case a person may have been exposed to, a contact ID Number is created: Every potential contact will receive a minimum of two ID numbers: an EID and at least one contact ID number (a person may have multiple contact ID numbers if exposed to multiple cases). They will also have an NC EDSS event number if they become symptomatic.
