If someone tests positive, he or she should see a physician to see if the infection is showing up in the lungs. If the infection is present, even if it's latent, the physician sends the prescription to the state and that is given to the local health department. |
We have suspect cases, not confirmed. They are not even probable cases, and they are not linked to a confirmed case. |
