"...if you are not compliant with a tracer?"

I haven't been anywhere or come in contact with anyone for ten weeks - there is nothing to trace....

That should end it.

Cuomo doesn't answer that...

Cuomo reminds New Yorkers they may get calls from Contact Tracers

Wonder if anyone got called after Fredo and his family broke quarantine...

As far as I understand the process, when you test positive, they ask you if you’ve come into close contact with anyone in the past two weeks. If you provide them contact information for one or more other people, they contact those individuals and tell them (without saying who it is) that they’ve been in contact with a person who has tested positive for disease X and they should get tested and/or self-quarantine while watching for symptoms.

I’ve never head of it being compulsory. The CDC Field Epidemiology Manual (https://www.cdc.gov/eis/field-epi-manual/index.html) documents the process. Contact tracing has been used with HIV, tuberculosis, Ebola, and other outbreaks in the US for decades. I understand some will tell you Bill Gates is personally coming in to your bedroom at night to yank your brain out and replace it with Satan’s underpants, but contact tracing isn’t anything new or different with COVID-19. It’s from manuals decades old, updated regularly as methods and technology change and it’s all right out in the open.

Nothing. And the tracers generally work by phone, or after you’re better, or under strong precaution. None of this is actually terribly new. Contact tracing has been part of figuring out disease paths pretty much since we figured out enough germ theory to know it’s useful information.

Say "No hablo ingles" and shut the door, or hang up the phone.

If they try to talk to you in spanish say "No hablo espanol".
