Tuberculosis is spread through the air from one person to another.
The bacteria are put into the air when a person with TB disease of the lungs coughs and sneezes. People nearby may breathe in these bacteria and become infected. People with TB disease are most likely to spread it to people they spend time with every day. The class schedule is posted on the webpage as an additional reference. We will continue to evaluate and identify all contacts who need to have testing done.
