The public health department has identified a further case of tuberculosis in the vicinity of a day-care center in Dresden. Three people have been identified so far, the city announced. They are now in quarantine and are receiving medical care.
After one person and a close contact person were each diagnosed with an infectious tuberculosis disease, the health department carried out a so-called environmental investigation of around 160 people in the vicinity of the daycare center last week. A single-digit number of relevant contact persons outside the facility have not yet been tested because they are not currently in Dresden.
After eight to twelve weeks, a further test is also required for people who have tested negative in order to rule out infection and disease with certainty.
