Dear Colleague:
Many of our TB colleagues across the country and around the world are now engaged in the response to COVID-19. I want to acknowledge and thank all of the public health and medical professionals who are on the frontlines responding to the COVID-19 pandemic. As public health departments shift staff and resources to meet the needs of the response, it is important to take steps to ensure that people who are receiving treatment for TB disease can continue their treatment, even if routine health care services are affected. I encourage you to visit CDC’s TB and Public Health Emergencies and COVID-19 websites for information and resources.
Each year, we recognize World TB Day on March 24th to commemorate the date Dr. Robert Koch announced his discovery of the bacillus that causes tuberculosis (TB). This year, we joined our international partners by adapting the global Stop TB Partnership’s 2020 World TB Day theme, which was once again “It’s Time.”
