County health department officials expect to test between 25
and 30 College employees who may have had contact with an employee diagnosed
with tuberculosis, according to Sandy Mosher, director of health services.
No students have been identified as being at risk, she said.
Testing is to begin on Monday, April 28. Results will be
read on Thursday, May 1.
The College last week notified the campus community about
the case. Officials have emphasized that there does not appear to be a large
number of exposures and, based on the clinical particulars, the case does not
appear to be highly contagious.
