Second Tuberculosis Case Linked to Konrad Zuse Vocational School Prompts Screening of 140

Officials report no elevated risk to the wider public.

Overview

  • The newly identified individual is receiving inpatient medical treatment.
  • The Bautzen health office continues contact tracing and ongoing monitoring of identified contacts.
  • About 140 people connected to the school are being examined as a precaution and are under medical follow-up.
  • Classes are proceeding without restrictions at the interim campus in Kamenz.
  • Health authorities note that tuberculosis spreads through the air but is less contagious than flu or measles, and a positive test does not automatically indicate active disease.
