Tuberculosis screening for children at two preschools after staff tests positive

Children at two Singapore preschools — MindChamps at East Coast and MapleBear Toa Payoh — are being screened for tuberculosis, after a staff member who worked at both centres tested positive. The case was reported in July and the staff was immediately placed on medical leave. Authorities say tuberculosis is treatable and not easily spread. Those with tuberculosis usually become non-infectious within two weeks after treatment begins. Nikhil Khattar reports.
