Know the difference between a contact tracer and a scammer

In order to track the spread of the coronavirus, contact tracers might reach out to you if you took a COVID-19 test or if someone you know has tested positive. You should be aware of the signs for when someone is pretending to be a contact tracer, but is really a scammer trying to get personal information from you. Contact tracers will only ask your name and address, health information and the names of places you’ve gone or people you have visited over the past few days.
