Latent TB sparks precautionary checks at Amazon's Coventry warehouse
An outbreak at Amazon's Coventry warehouse led to 10 workers testing positive for latent tuberculosis among about 3,000 staff. Latent TB is not contagious, and those affected are receiving treatment as NHS and UKHSA expand testing. The site remains open, but unions and local MPs are calling for stronger infection controls and worker protections, highlighting ongoing debates about warehouse safety; TB cases are rising in England, with authorities advising screening for those exposed.
