The government confirms (Nov. 3) that a case of tuberculosis has been identified on the Turks and Caicos Islands. The person in question has been isolated, and is undergoing a full course of treatment. Tuberculosis is less infectious than chicken pox and influenza, and the isolation should be regarded as a preventative measure only. Persons who have recently been in sustained contact with the subject are being interviewed by Ministry of Health officials as a precaution as per the recommendations of the Caribbean Epidemiology Centre www.carec.org. There is no cause for public concern. This is an isolated incident.
