A Whitehall high school is urging testing after a student tested positive for tuberculosis.
A letter dated Jan. 29 was sent to parents from Whitehall-Yearling High School principal Dr. Maria Boyarko, who noted that the student is receiving treatment and that the risk of infection is very low.
“As a precautionary measure, Whitehall City Schools conducted contact tracing and identified the students who need to be tested,” the letter states. “Families were notified by phone today with instructions regarding testing.”
