If you get a call from an unknown number claiming to be a COVID-19 contact tracer, it could be a scam, or it could be legit. Public health officials say state contact tracers will be making calls to people it believes have come in contact with someone who’s been exposed to COVID. But officials also say scammers are expected to take advantage of what they called the “new normal.” Gov. J.B. Pritzker said legitimate tracers won’t ask for money.
