Primary care physicians are a key component of surveillance systems, with the responsibility to report to public health when they identify communicable diseases of significance. For example, as a patient’s first point-of-contact, primary care tends to identify a spike in seasonal influenza earlier than emergency departments, and can serve as a reliable indicator of underlying trends in community transmission.5,10 This function will become increasingly important in post-peak surveillance, when primary care physicians will be the ones to whom patients are most likely to first present, and may therefore be the first to identify resurgence of COVID-19.
