Coronavirus Contact Tracing Information
Posted on: April 24, 2020 - 2:32pm
The Massachusetts Department of Public Health, local Boards of Health, and Partners in Health, a Boston-based international medical charity with more than 30 years of experience in global health, are running a "contact tracing" program in Massachusetts. In this program, staff reaches out to everyone who tested positive for the coronavirus and people who have been in contact with anyone who tests positive for the coronavirus.
The staff will NOT ask for the following information:
Social security number
Health insurance information
If someone claims to be a contact tracer and asks for this information, do not provide it.
