Overview
- Two workers at a Segovia farm tested positive for tuberculosis; one has died and the other is hospitalized and receiving treatment.
- The regional health authority activated its epidemiological surveillance protocol and is testing about 88 contacts to find any further infections.
- Completed tests to date have not identified new cases and officials say the two patients are not epidemiologically linked, so they do not classify this as a workplace outbreak.
- Health authorities reminded the public that tuberculosis spreads through airborne droplets from people with active disease and that casual outdoor contact carries low risk.
- Castilla y León has a low TB incidence (158 cases in 2025) and investigators say the study must be completed before drawing final conclusions about chains of transmission.
