contact tracing

A method of keeping tract of the contacts a person with an infectious disease has, to prevent the spread of the disease. Tracing can be used to find the original source of the disease by looking at one's contacts before they were infected, and after they were infected to see who they may have spread the disease to. Once individuals who had contacts with the disease have been identified they are tested for the disease, to stop them from disease spreading behavior till their condition has been identified. If individuals are found to be infected with the disease they continue to stop any disease spreading behavior, (e.g. isolation) and are treated, so they don't spread the disease to others.
People in charge of public health and the spreading of VD, have being using contact tracing long before those fighting the lasted pandemic used it.

Tracking

1: When a person or another animal examines an area to see if there are any signs that people or animals have passed through it recently and try to figure out how many of them were there, what they were doing, and which way they went
2: When people monitor where a person or a particular object they are interested in, usually packages, is located
3: When an individual goes online to find more information about another person in order to understand them better. When they do this, they use publicly accessible information that does not require a people search website to get.
Ivan: Cisco, have you been tracking that package that supposed to be coming in this week?
Cisco: Yeah, I've been tracking it. It supposed to be coming on Thursday.
Ivan: Good to hear.
