who have shared an area simultaneously with a cardholder who has tested positive for an infec- tious virus . identified as having a contagious illness , such as COVID-19 , the site ’ s access control operator enters spe- cific information – including the ori- gin cardholder ( the person
identified as being a health risk ) and the
dates where there was a risk of exposure
– into the Proximity and
Contact
Tracing Report utility , which quick- ly produces a report listing all oth- er cardholders who shared an area with the contagious cardholder der .
This information n allows organizations to act rapidly and to proactively in- form their employees of the poten- tial risk of infection , allowing them to take action
, seek testing , and minimize spread of the virus .

safeguard business revenue , employee income
, and operations
