In two schools in Dresden, infectious tuberculosis has been detected in two people. All contact persons in the school environment are now being tested as a precautionary measure, the municipal health department announced. The infected persons have been isolated and are receiving medical treatment. Tuberculosis is generally a disease that is difficult to transmit.
If an initial test is negative, a second test is required for children and young people after eight to twelve weeks. Only then can it be reliably ruled out that someone has been infected.
