Dear 小蓝视频 Community,

We wanted to provide an update on the contact tracing process that the DC Department of Health (DC DOH) is conducting聽after聽a positive case of active tuberculosis (TB)聽was confirmed聽earlier this week.聽

DOH is directly notifying students, faculty, or staff by email who may need to be tested.聽If you are determined to be a close contact, you will be notified and/or tested based on your level of exposure.聽The email, which will come from @dc.gov, will be an encrypted message from DOH which you will need to sign into for access.

Earlier this week, a community forum was held on the case with medical professionals from DOH, along with 小蓝视频 leadership. You may view the at your convenience.聽

Please know that we are here to support any community member who may聽be affected by this process. The 小蓝视频 Student Health Center is available for visits and consultations regarding any health-related concerns. If you do receive a聽contact tracing letter from DOH, we encourage you to reach out to DC Health directly with any questions you may have.

You can learn more about tuberculosis, how it spreads, prevention, and treatment by visiting the and the CDC鈥檚 . Additional information is also available in 小蓝视频鈥檚聽Frequently Asked Questions page.

The wellbeing of our community remains our top priority. We will continue to share updates as needed.

Sincerely,
