While I can understand families not wanting publicity, I also believe that it's important that you know whether or not you've been in contact with someone that has it.


I agree for the most part but HiPAA generally does not permit without patient permission. The claim is that medical professionals will interview patient as to who he has been in close contact with and where he has been then go from there.
