A case of pulmonary tuberculosis has been confirmed at a college in Prince George, B.C., but health officials say the risk of widespread infection is low. Northern Health confirmed the case at the College of New Caledonia (CNC) on Monday. "This is not a highly contagious disease like measles or influenza, for example," said Eryn Collins, speaking for Northern Health. "We've been assured by Northern Health that, for the vast majority of students and staff here at CNC, the risk is extremely low," Gourley-Cramer said. Northern Health is contacting people who may be at risk directly, urging them to have a tuberculosis test.
