MHHS warns of TB increase

(PR) There has been an increase in tuberculosis (TB) cases in our community in recent weeks. TB spreads through the air when a person with active TB coughs or sneezes.

Protect yourself and others by covering your cough, wearing a mask if you’re sick, ensuring good ventilation, and getting tested if you have symptoms like a persistent cough, fatigue, fever, loss of appetite, unexplained weight loss, or night sweats.

Early detection and treatment are key—please seek care if you have concerns.

For more information about TB disease or how to get screened for TB, please contact the Communicable Disease Unit (CDU):

Mondays to Fridays from 8:00am – 5:00pm:

• CDU Clinic   488 – 2450

• Health Information Resource Center   488 – 1757/6500

• After hours and on weekends  775-2822

Erratum: Speaker Helena Rois Yoichi-Arurang

In the April 06 issue, a front-page article incorrectly stated that Helena Rois Yoichi-Arurang had served as the Speaker of the 10th Olbiil er a Ngerchumelbai (Airai Legislature) for five terms.

Arurang is currently serving her fifth term as a legislator for the 10th Olbiil er a Ngerchumelbai and on her second term as Speaker. We regret the error.
