Re: Human Subjects Determination for Case/Contact Investigation
CDC is collaborating with state and local health departments in the public health response to cases, suspect cases and
contacts of cases with the 2019 novel coronavirus. This activity involves identification, control, or prevention of disease
in response to an immediate public health threat; it is not public health research. Therefore, this activity does not
require human subject/IRB review.
Please forward to other within the CDC response, as needed.
