The study's general objective is to assess the effectiveness, feasibility, acceptability, and cost associated with the addition of a Mamal Pro digital contact tracing module to the Mamal Pro app in improving COVID-19 contact tracing and testing in Littoral, Cameroon.
Specific objectives are:
1. Primary objective: To determine the effectiveness of the use of a Mamal Pro digital contact tracing module added to the Mamal Pro app in improving COVID-19 contact tracing and testing compared to the SOC as measured by:
* The number and proportion of reported contacts who received SARS-CoV-2 testing.
* The number and proportion of contacts who are successfully reached by phone by MOH district contact tracing unit.
* The number and proportion of contacts testing positive for SARS-CoV-2 infection.
* The time from SARS-CoV-2 infected index patient identification of contacts to communication with the contact by the district contact tracing unit.
2. Secondary objectives:
* To assess the feasibility and acceptability of the use of the Mamal Pro digital contact tracing module through structured interviews with MOH facility staff, district unit contract tracing teams, and individuals undergoing SARS-CoV-2 testing.
* To estimate the total cost of using the Mamal Pro contact tracing module for tracing SARS-CoV2 positive case contacts and cost per contact traced using the module.
