A case of tuberculosis was confirmed in a kindergarten in Trondheim, leading local health authorities to inform parents and staff about the situation. The affected individuals were invited to a meeting held by Siv Mari Forsmark, a local government representative. The health authorities have offered testing for all the children and staff members, to assess potential exposure to the disease.

It remains unclear whether the infection was diagnosed in a child or an adult. Eli Sagvik, a specialist in infectious diseases at the Trondheim municipality, assured that the type of tuberculosis detected is very minimally contagious. Following the confirmation of tuberculosis in the kindergarten, a thorough investigation was initiated to identify and notify anyone who may have been exposed and requires testing.

This incident underscores the importance of vigilance and response in public health, particularly in places like kindergartens where young children may be more vulnerable. Authorities are committed to ensuring that those who might have come into contact with the infected individual are properly screened and have access to necessary medical support.
