Ethical approval was not sought for this activity, nor was consent requested from the patients whose information was collected for that purpose.No identifying information was collected for individuals not considered alert cases. Identifying information was recorded for alert cases so they could be contacted as part of the epidemic response. A de-identified data set of the alert cases that arose from the active case finding system was created prior to and used for the analyses presented here.
