Chelsea Clinton serves on Partners in Health's Board of Trustees. Partners in Health was founded by Jim Kim, who is now the president of the UN World Bank and Paul Farmer, whose health programs have been funded in the past by Soros.

Democrat Representative Bobby Rush introduced HR 6666, the COVID-19 TRACE Act, that authorizes the federal government to grant approved entities the right to conduct contact tracing for coronavirus at "individuals' residences." Contact tracing involves investigators tracing every interaction that infected people have.

Partners in Health was recently selected by Massachusetts governor Charlie Baker to conduct Coronavirus "contact tracing," a process that involves teams of investigators finding out who infected people have come into contact with. The group is already "training and deploying hundreds of contact tracers." Some citizens fear the potential for mass surveillance posed by contact tracing, especially in light of a Democrat-introduced bill in Congress to authorize contact tracing "at individuals' residences."
