Washington has nearly 1,400 trained contact-tracing personnel who are beginning to contact each new person who tests positive for the novel coronavirus, in an effort to track down other people they may have infected, Gov. Jay Inslee said Tuesday.

The newly trained brigade of contact tracers are part of what Inslee called a three-pronged approach to locking down the virus: broad-based testing, isolation and contact tracing.
