Long Beach officials declared a public health emergency Thursday afternoon after one person died and nine others were hospitalized due to a tuberculosis outbreak in the city.
The city’s chief health officer, Dr. Anissa Davis, said the outbreak was localized to a single-room occupancy hotel, which health officials declined to identify.
As of Monday, a total of 14 cases had been identified. The health department’s tuberculosis control staff, however, has identified an additional 170 people who have likely been exposed.
