An arrest warrant has been issued for a woman who health officials say is refusing treatment for tuberculosis, according to the Tacoma-Perce County Health Department.
"People can die from TB if they don’t get treatment," the department stated."And they can expose other people to unnecessary risk of getting TB."
The court order will authorize law enforcement to detain the woman and take her to a facility for isolation, testing and treatment, health officials said.
