A person at a Delaware County middle school has tested positive for tuberculosis, according to the Delaware County Health Department.
Tuberculosis is an infectious bacterial disease that mainly affects the lungs, and is said to spread similarly to a cold, or flu. However, health officials say it is not as contagious and would require at least 15 hours of contact per week with an infected person.
Anyone with question or concerns that they may need to be tested, should contact the Delaware County Health Department.
