With the re-opening of physical workplaces during the COVID-19 pandemic, RTLS can play a critical role in helping with contact tracing. With the ability of RTLS to identify and trace the location of people in real-time, it automates the contact tracing process. If someone is diagnosed with an infectious disease, like COVID-19, an RTLS solution can report all proximity connections to the patient using its breadcrumb trail capability. This eliminates the ambiguity associated asking employees to recall potential contact with the infected person.
