How transparent should senior homes be with residents who develop SARS-CoV-2 symptoms? Is there a part of confidentiality that needs to be considered? Im thinking about this in terms of contract tracing. Additionally how much information should be public about contact tracing? I know South Korea does a lot of this and is pretty successful, but at what cost to confidentiality?

The only thing you are told with contact tracing is that you have been around someone who has tested positive.  you are not told their name.  

Assisted living facilities have a real problem with this.  It's not necessarily the person living in the facility that is problematic but their family.  So, things are kept pretty quiet
