Looking for a new part-time job? Want to do something that makes a difference during the COVID-19 outbreak? The Ohio Department of Health has posted links to jobs for contact tracers, both entry level and supervisor roles.

According to ODH, “The Contact Tracers are ‘disease detectives’ who will gather critical information from Ohio residents diagnosed with COVID-19 by identifying their contacts and calling every contact who lives in Ohio.”

The job listing says the project duration is 12 to 18 months, it’s part-time, preferred qualifications are “experience in public health, medical or related field” and “interviewing technique skills,” pay rate is $18.59 an hour and the work is remote.

If you’ve got time on your hands, like talking on the phone and want to help track down people who have possibly been exposed to COVID-19 — like you’re a health care Sherlock Holmes — check out the listing.

The state’s goal is to get from the current “few hundred to possibly nearly 2,000” contact tracers.

“Contact tracing involves identifying people who are likely to get sick because of being in contact with those who have tested positive. Contact tracing is an important part of us going forward in reopening,” ODH says.

  1. Are you fucking kidding me? Here’s another step towards complete surveillance. You can now be tracked for speaking to someone diagnosed with covid. And then anyone you come in contact with will be tracked. Uh duh, I mean traced.

    And these journalists present it as a part time fucking job. Rotten slime.

  2. Take off your tinfoil hat, you paranoid POS…its interference is fucking up the ability to read this site. Too much snow on the screen. Knock it off.

  3. 5g now is your chance to get on the inside,,,,sign up,,,,become a brown shirt. You can have all the knowledge,,,,track everyone,,,,go on man,,,sign up

  4. Can’t wait for the mass suicides when “Journalists” realize they’ve been co-opted to help snuff out their family, friends and communities.

  5. take off your tinfoil hat bro, its not like Dewine just announced hundreds of millions in budget cuts to education and Medicaid but now they can hire 2000 virus tracking agents. The tinfoil must be getting to your brain because hiring people to track other citizens is totally normal and isn’t at all concerning.
    Also you have a tin foil hat on. Hahaha. Take off your tin foil hat because you’re wearing a tin foil hat. Guys, did you see what I said? Tin foil hat.

    You’re all so stupid.

  6. There’s one here that’s stupid,,,,and we all know who it is,,,,the scared one that logs on each day, multiple times to up vote his garbage,,,,sad when you are the only one up voting yourself

  7. OK, skeptics, you can keep dismissing the obvious until the contact trackers are taking people out of their homes to quarantine in FEMA camps, i mean covid hospitals.

  8. This falls in line with federal house bill HR6666 which allows them to track anyone who has been diagnosed with covid to be tracked. Anyone they come in contact with will be forcibly quarantined to the extent that they will remove you and members of your family and take them to quarantine camps.

    You could write Marcia Fudge and Marcie Kaptur to say you do not support the forced removal and imprisonment of American citizens.

  9. I have tested positive for covid19. I want to let the contact tracers know that I’ve been in direct contact with scene writers Vince Grzegorek, Sam Allard, and others. They will now need to be tracked and quarantined. If they don’t have an available place to quarantine alone, the tracers may have to take them to a special facility.
