Barcelona Opens TB Probe After Case Among Camp Nou Renovation Staff

The case remains isolated under active contact tracing.

Overview

  • Public health officials confirmed one technical worker with tuberculosis after compatible symptoms, and treatment and clinical follow-up have begun.
  • The Agencia de Salud Pública de Barcelona is evaluating 23 contacts of the case, with three still under investigation according to Tuesday’s report.
  • Contractor Limak says all tests conducted so far on potentially exposed staff have been negative and work continues with reinforced hygiene, ventilation, cleaning, and mask distribution.
  • Authorities stress this is not classified as an outbreak because at least two linked infections are required for that designation.
  • Separate labor tensions continue around the project, with protests over about 50 reported dismissals, a September 25 inspection following a union complaint, findings due in roughly three weeks, and FC Barcelona saying it collaborates with the contractor to ensure compliance.
