APD Addressing Fake Covid-19 Letter

The Amarillo Police Department and City of Amarillo Public Health Department is alerting the community of a fraudulent letter being sent around town.

The letter involves what you must do if you test positive for Covid-19 or have come into contact with someone who has tested positive.

The City of Amarillo Public Health Department will contact you by phone to give you instructions on the forms they are going to send you by email.

You will receive the email from an individual email address of a City of Amarillo Public Health Department staff member, and it will be password protected.

In the paperwork, they will never ask for identifying information such as a social security number or payment information.

They will ask for your name, address, birthdate, and those you have been in contact with.

If you have any question, Call the Health Department at 806-378-6300.
