As of today, the state will not restrict attendance at work or school because a TB clearance hasn't been issued.
"There seems to be manufacturing delays, and we are told that it's an issue of supply and demand," said Dr. Richard Bronstrom, the health department's TB Control Branch Chief.
The high-risk groups include:
Persons with signs and symptoms of active TB disease
Contacts exposed to an infectious case of TB
High-risk immigrants referred from the Honolulu Quarantine Station
Persons with immunodeficiencies
Persons who require TB screening due to medical treatment.
