A legitimate contact tracer may ask for verification of your date of birth, address, and any other phone numbers you may have; and if you have already tested positive for COVID-19 they may also ask for the date and location of where you were tested.
A contact tracer will never ask for your Social Security number, financial or bank account information, or personal details unrelated to your potential exposure to someone with COVID-19; personal information through SMS/text message or send you to any website link asking for personal information; photographs or videos of any kind; passwords; or money or payment.
A contact tracer will never share your information with any local, state or federal law enforcement agency. People who receive a call from a contact tracer are welcome to contact the Department of Health to verify their legitimacy by calling 1-877-PA HEALTH (1-877-724-3258
