SCOTTSDALE – The Scottsdale Police Department is warning residents about a hoax they may have received in the mail claiming to be from Maricopa County Public Health. A letter, dated March 30th, 2020, claims that “Maricopa County Department of Public Health officials” will be going door to door to check the health and “well-being” of the residents.
The letter claims that residents who are sick will be taken to a facility in Phoenix to be quarantined for 45 days.
According to the Scottsdale Police Department, “County health officials do not go door to door to check the health of residents. The former tent city in lower Buckeye is not a site being used for individuals infected with COVID-19.
