SLO County warns of COVID-19 texting scam
SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY, Calif. - San Luis Obispo County warned the community about a texting scam Tuesday, which claims people may have been exposed to the coronavirus.
The text message says "someone who came in contact with you tested positive or has shown symptoms of COVID-19 & recommends you self-isolate/get tested."
The text message includes a link and urges people to click on it for more information, but San Luis Obispo County says the link is a scam and people should not click it.
The county said Tuesday that people will receive a call, not a text, from a health care professional if they've been in close contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19.
