Chief Medical Officer in Barbados, Dr Kenneth George, is seeking to assure the public that the individual identified with a case of tuberculosis is non-infectious.
He said actions were taken to provide care for and treat the individual, who does not pose a threat, and that the Ministry of Health and Wellness will ensure that the long-term course of treatment is completed.
Barbados records approximately two to three cases of tuberculosis annually, and the authorities say while most cases are imported, a few come from within the local population.
