#Bahamas, November 24, 2017 – Nassau – The Bahamas Union of Teachers President says the Minister of Health and Minister of Education are communicating continually as it relates to the confirmation of Tuberculosis at RM Bailey High school in Nassau, and that is good news since there is now reason to suspect TB is cropping up at CH Reeves.
Belinda Wilson has requested that the junior high teachers at CH be given the Mantoux test for TB, it is suspected there are two cases at the school, also located in Nassau. In a Nassau Guardian interview, the BUT president said parents of CH Reeves students have been contacted already, she also said, despite a responsive and meticulous approach by education and public health officials, there is an “outbreak, and I think there is a need for concern”.
Minister of Education, Jeffrey Lloyd believes otherwise, saying the matter is isolated and that there is no cause for alarm. At last check, there were well over 200 cases of tuberculosis recorded in recent weeks in The Bahamas.
