Contract tracing is only necessary when a person has either been tested postive and/or is sick with Covid-19. He's saying that people who are sick are for the most part continuing to voluntarily self isolate and are getting outside help, and the State will provide assistance for shoppitng for food if necessary.
King Co: People with COVID-19 must isolate or face involuntary detention
It is legal under Washington State Law to involuntarily commit people sick with covid-19 during this emergency. In King County where I live, County Health Director Dr. Jeff Duchin signed a order March 28 direct people with covid-19 to self isolate, or they may be involuntarily detained (link).
So what the Govenor is talking about is trying to help people self isolating who really should not be out and about. Detaining people with covid-19 who are putting others at risk is already covered. Not that that's likely, a person sick with Covid-19 isn't going to want to go outside and hang out with people anyway.
I'm not trying to defend Govenor Inslee here. I just want to know what the full story is about before I get upset or not over it.
This is state agents showing up at the door because you may have come in contact with the virus. You are likely asymptomatic, or not even sick.
Also, no one is asking about whether each individual’s DNA will be sequenced into a state database as a government bonus prize.
He did mention quarantining people “even before they test positive”. Based on contact tracing I imagine. (At 5:10 in your posted press conference video).
So if WA state “thinks” you may have come in contact with someone with COVID-19 they can lock you down in your home or involuntarily detain you? Should probably have a positive test before getting all tyrannical.
