Transcript“I literally love my job… and being able to wake up and the end of the day and also say … I possibly helped save a life.” — Kimberly JocelynContact tracers like Kimberly are an integral part of New York City’s plan to reopen safely.

But, contact tracers are also tasked with the delicate job of informing someone of their possible exposure. On today’s episode, we speak with Maryama Diaw and Kimberly Jocelyn, who are both contact tracers in New York, about their experiences on the job. We also hear from Dr. Jay Varma, a physician and epidemiologist in New York City, about the science behind contact tracing.Nominations for the 2020 People's Choice Podcast Awards opened on July 1st.
