What happened

A case of tuberculosis was reported in a municipal kindergarten in Martinengo, in the province of Bergamo, and the surveillance plan was activated. It is not yet clear whether a child or an adult who works in the school where 52 children are cared for contracted the infection. In any case, skin tests will be carried out on children and staff tomorrow.
