1. Employment of tuberculous patient. No individual who has tubercle bacilli in their sputum or other bodily discharges shall be allowed to engage in employment where children, students, and medical patients may be exposed, or where food is handled and sold unless the patient has received a certificate or clearance from the local health department or attending physician stating that the patient's employment would not be dangerous to the public's health.
2. Student tuberculous patient. No student, who has tuberculosis in a contagious and infectious stage as determined by bacteriological examination or medical evaluation, shall be allowed to attend school until the student is no longer contagious or infectious and has received a certificate or clearance from the local health department or attending physician stating that the student is no longer contagious or infectious and would not constitute a public health danger.
3. Contacts of active cases. Any person exposed to an active case of tuberculosis shall be considered as a suspicious case until determined otherwise by a tuberculin test, if previously negative. An x-ray, laboratory, or medical evaluation is necessary for those individuals with a positive tuberculin test.
4. Uncooperative patients. The local health department should be notified immediately if an individual knowingly refuses to accept treatment for contagious or infectious tuberculosis and is endangering the health of others.
