@carolinverset There is already an additional information free text field for contact at the bottom of the page. It's called "General comment" in english.

@carolinverset the There is a variable called "contact category" activated currently on the German system, We will activate it for the whole system also. See picture

@carolinverset The variable for genital comment is at the bottom of the contact information page, see figure

@carolinverset For the other points, you mentioned, we discus further in the next meeting please

@bernardsilenou @ChristopherRiedelSymeda I agree with you and we have see the free text field on the bottom of the view. Unfortunately, this field is used for another type of information which is imported from on other data health system.
Insofar as we have to establish a specific feedback to the local healthcare insurance institutions with information about tests or medical work stopping for cases or contacts, so we need to have two related/linked fields : multiple choices variable « CASE’S NEEDS » or “contact’s need” AND an attached free text field allowing to complete this information.
What are you thinking about ?

There is a free text variable in sormas called "help needed in quarantine". This varaibel is technically to document needs of the contact or case. We can replace this variable with a more generic caption "CONTACT’S NEEDS" and "CASE’S NEEDS" which will be a checkbox variable with options:

RT-PCR prescription, if yes, then show a field to enter day (not date). day = "number days since start of follow-up" Medical absence from work certificate if yes, show date field from and to Mask recommended Other(s) + free text

• remove validation between quarantine and help needed in quarantine
• replace caption "help needed in quarantine' with "contacts needs" or 'cases needs' -map all old records for help needed in quarantine to 'others'
