MOORESTOWN, NJ - Moorestown police are warning the public about potential scammers trying to take advantage of people during the coronavirus outbreak.

People have been going door-to-door claiming to be from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), police said on Monday. However, the CDC said it is not sending people door-to-door to conduct surveillance.

"People should be warned to not let them in their homes or to speak with them," police said. "They are imposters."



Anyone who experiences this is advised to call the police department.

The announcement comes after the first presumptive positive case of new coronavirus was identified in Camden County. A Cherry Hill man in his 60s has been hospitalized in stable condition and isolation since March 3, according to county and state officials.
