🛑 HELP STOP THE SPREAD OF TB (Tuberculosis) 🛑

TB is a disease that can spread from person to person. The good news? It can be tested, treated, and cured.

If you think you may have been around someone with TB, or if public health calls you to inform you that you were, get checked as soon as possible. Call the clinic during regular opening hours and/or come to your appointment. Acting early helps protect you, your friends, your family, and your community. ❤️

What does it mean to be a TB contact? A TB contact is someone who has spent a lot of time with a person who has TB in their lungs.

✅ Being a contact does NOT mean you have TB. ✅ It simply means you should get screened to make sure you're healthy. Public Health looks at things like:

• How long you were around the person
• How often you saw them
• How closely you interacted

How do they test for TB? There are a few different tests:

💉 Skin Test (TCT) A small amount of liquid is placed under your skin. You come back 2 days later to have it checked.
🩻 Chest X-Ray Takes a picture of your lungs to look for signs of TB.
🫁 Sputum Test You cough up mucus from deep in your lungs into a container. It gets sent to a lab to check for TB bacteria. Your healthcare team will explain which tests you need and guide you through the process.

Do I need to isolate?

Sometimes, while waiting for test results, a healthcare worker may ask you to stay home and avoid contact with others. This is just a precaution to help keep everyone safe. If you're asked to isolate:

🏠 Stay at home or in a room by yourself
🚫 Avoid shared spaces when possible
🚫 Don't have visitors
🍲 Ask someone to help with food and supplies
💊 Make sure you have any medications you need

Remember: isolation is temporary. Your healthcare team will tell you when it's safe to return to your normal activities.

💙 Getting tested early helps stop the spread of TB and keeps our community healthy. If you're contacted for screening, please participate.

Health Alert: Tuberculosis (TB) Cases in Waswanipi
The Waswanipi Community Miyupimaatisiiun Centre (CMC) is currently experiencing an increase in activity related to the detection of several tuberculosis (TB) cases in the community. The CMC team, community leadership, and regional CBHSSJB teams are working together to contain transmission and prevent further spread.
We ask for everyone's cooperation, support, and understanding during this time.

What is Tuberculosis (TB)?
Tuberculosis (TB) is a disease that can spread through the air when a person with TB in their lungs or throat coughs, speaks, sings, or sneezes. Tiny droplets containing TB bacteria can be inhaled by people nearby.

Important Facts About TB
• TB is curable with medication, and treatment can be provided within the community.
• People with TB are most likely to spread the disease to individuals with whom they spend significant time indoors.
• TB does not spread through:
◦ Shaking hands
◦ Sharing food or drinks
◦ Touching bed linens
◦ Using toilet seats

Symptoms of TB
If you experience any of the following symptoms, please contact the Community Miyupimaatisiiun Centre (CMC) during opening hours, as after hours are for emergencies:
• A cough lasting more than three weeks
• Night sweats
• Unexplained weight loss and/or loss of appetite
• Fever

What You Should Do
If you have symptoms or think you may have been exposed to TB:
• Contact your local CMC during opening hours, as after hours are for emergencies.
• Follow the recommendations provided, including TB screening and isolation if advised.

If you have been diagnosed with TB or have been asked to isolate:
• Follow all instructions provided by healthcare professionals.
• Isolation and treatment help protect your family, friends, and community by preventing the spread of TB.
If you have been prescribed medication for TB or latent ("sleeping") TB:
• Take your medication every day as prescribed.
• Complete the entire course of treatment, even if you start feeling better before it is finished.

Supporting Others
Do you know someone who has been diagnosed with TB or who needs to isolate?
• Offer help and support when possible.
• Check in with them regularly.
• Be understanding, respectful, and compassionate.
A TB diagnosis and isolation period can be challenging for individuals and their families. Community support can make a meaningful difference.

Thank You
Thank you for your cooperation and support.

Please be mindful of the information you share. Rumours and misinformation can cause harm and create unnecessary stress for individuals, families, and the community.
Together, we can help keep our community healthy and safe.
