COVID-19 cases will now receive a text message from IDPH

All positive cases entered into the State’s data systems associated with a cell phone number will receive an automated text message from IDPH. The initial outgoing text will read: IDPH COVID: There is important info for you. Call 312-777-1999 or click: https://dph.illinois.gov/covid19/community-guidance/confirmed-or-possible-covid-19.html

Individuals who call the number in the text will be considered as “opting in” for an interview.

There have been scams associated with COVID-19 and contact tracing so we want people to know that IDPH COVID will be issuing text messages to newly identified cases.
