REYNOLDS, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT)- The West Central Health District is investigating a possible Tuberculosis outbreak, after a Reynolds City Council member reported a case on Friday.

The exact location and who is infected is still currently unknown.

District Program Manager for the West Central Health District, Asante Hilts, said Tuberculosis is hard to spot at first.

“You don’t always know if a person has TB or not but if there is a known exposure to someone with TB the recommendation is that you would wear a mask to protect yourself from that person,” said Hilts.
