Tuberculosis

Virginia’s Health is in Your Hands. Do your part, stop the spread.

Get the Facts

We need everyone’s help to stop the spread. Individuals, communities, businesses, and healthcare organizations all play an important role in slowing the spread of COVID-19.
Virginia is currently in Phases 1A and 1B of our COVID-19 vaccination plan. Healthcare workers, residents of long-term care facilities, frontline essential workers, and those at increased risk of exposure or serious illness are now getting the COVID-19 vaccine. We all need to continue to take the steps to slow the spread of COVID-19, even after we get vaccinated.
Wash your hands often, stay at least six feet apart from others, wear a mask in public settings, stay home if you are sick, and disinfect high-touch surfaces often. These are all very important ways to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Stay in your home from midnight to 5:00 a.m. Only leave your home during this time for essential activities, including seeking medical care, obtaining food and goods, and traveling to and from work. These are requirements of the modified Stay at Home Order as of December 14.
All Virginians should limit indoor and outdoor in-person gatherings to no more than 10 people. Continue to practice physical distancing and avoid mass gatherings and crowded places.
As of December 14, Governor Northam expanded the mask mandate to require that all Virginians aged 5 years and older wear masks that cover their mouth and nose in indoor settings shared with people outside of their household and when outdoors within six feet of another person who does not live with them.

The mission of the Tuberculosis (TB) Program is to control, prevent, and eventually eliminate TB from the Commonwealth of Virginia. The program aims to detect every case of TB in Virginia, assure that every case is adequately and completely treated, and prevent transmission of TB in communities.
