So in late June I mailed my amended return and today, October 30th, the Amended return status link at the IRS shows this:

Where's My Amended Return > 2019
Take Action! Please see below for additional info about your amended return.
Your amended return was received on June 29, 2020. However, it has not been processed. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Please call [phone number removed], extension 623, between the hours of 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., Monday through Friday. You will need a copy of your amended return.

Does this mean I am supposed to call them or just wait for them to process my return?

You don't have to call them, you can if you want more information about the processing of your amended return. The IRS has been behind in processing returns due to Covid-19, so it is taking months to get returns processed fully from their original processing time (3 to 4 months for amended returns).

Amended returns usually take 3 to 4 months to process ... but this is not a usual year ... due to the covid shutdown anything requiring a human touch will be taking much longer.
