LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — The feds are descending on downtown Los Angeles to combat what they say might be a dangerous outbreak of a drug-resistant strain of tuberculosis.
Jeff Nguyen, reporting for CBS2 and KCAL9, went downtown in search of people who may have been exposed.
John Williams started living at the Weingart shelter on LA’s Skid Row two weeks ago. Before he could be admitted he had to undergo a screening for tuberculosis.
Williams said, “They make you go get checked before you get into one of these programs because they don’t want it spread out in there.”
A tuberculosis screening is more important than ever in and around Skid Row.
