CHICAGO (WLS) -- Written by Mark Rivera at abc7Chicago -- With more than a million people unemployed in Illinois, a new job is on the rise. By making a few calls, you could save lives and get paid. The city of Chicago wants nearly 4,000 contact tracers for the state of Illinois and is willing to pay them at least $20 an hour.

Healthcare providers like hospitals, doctors, and mental health professionals can now enter a virtual care offering in their Business Profile, so that people searching for their local provider, for instance, might see a “get online care” link on Search and Maps. Clicking this link will take people to that provider’s virtual care website where they can find more information, and in many cases, schedule a virtual healthcare visit with a provider.
