When working in a childcare field or in the medial field it is required that everyone on staff gets a TB test. The test is easy, does not hurt and helps protect you and other's. World Tuberculosis Day was created by the World Health Organization to spread knowledge and awareness of tuberculosis, an infectious disease that kills millions every year. Tuberculosis is easily curable, but it can lie dormant and undetected for years, so it’s important to spread awareness. The World Health Organization chose March 24 as World Tuberculosis Day to commemorate the day Dr. Robert Koch discovered TB bacillus, the bacterium responsible for the disease.
The world is in a crazy place at the moment with CoVid on top of all the other things we can catch. It is important to spread awareness to protect all those around us.
