EDMONTON — More than 100 students and staff members at an Edmonton high school will be screened for tuberculosis.
That’s because a classmate tested positive for the potentially deadly disease last month.
Alberta Health Services will be testing students from five classes at Austin O’Brien on Friday.
Edmonton Catholic Schools sent the affected students a letter to take home.
Health officials say even though the airborne germs can spread, the chances of other students getting TB are very low.
