Overview
- A student at the BSZ 'Konrad Zuse'—currently based in Kamenz—has a confirmed tuberculosis infection and is receiving medical treatment, with personal details withheld for data protection.
- Precautionary screenings for approximately 140 identified contacts are scheduled for January 20–21 as part of routine containment measures.
- Contact tracing includes links to the communal accommodation on Thomas‑Müntzer‑Straße in Hoyerswerda, reflecting close, longer‑term interactions rather than implying residence.
- Classes continue at the school’s temporary Kamenz site, and authorities report no special action is required from the general public given the disease’s low transmissibility.
- Local data show nine TB cases in 2025, twelve in 2024, and eleven in 2023 with hundreds of contacts tested each year, and results from the current screenings are pending.
