“While notifications haven't increased in the past year, TB remains a serious public health issue. It's important that everyone is aware of the symptoms to ensure prompt testing and treatment, so that we can bring TB levels down significantly.”
“Not every persistent cough, along with a fever, is caused by flu or COVID-19. A cough that usually has mucus and lasts longer than 3 weeks can be caused by a range of other issues, including TB. Please speak to your GP if you think you could be at risk.”
