"Public Health Emergency: Tuberculosis Outbreak Exposes 500+ Children at Omaha Daycare"

Over 500 infants, toddlers, and children in Omaha, Nebraska, are being tested for tuberculosis after potential exposure at a local daycare. The Douglas County Health Department declared a public health emergency and set up clinics to test children aged 4 and under, with plans to test older children later this week. Urgent action is being taken due to the rapid progression of the disease in children. Tuberculosis is a bacterial infection that spreads through direct contact, and officials are awaiting test results to determine the extent of transmission and potential further exposure.
