Mar 28, 2018
The AngajukKâk, or mayor, of Nain says there’s another suspected case of tuberculosis in the northern Labrador community, just one week after 14-year-old Gussie Bennett died from complications related to the disease.
Joe Dicker told CBC on Tuesday that a 14-month-old is being treated for the illness in St. John’s.
He said the news of a potential second case has people on edge.
“We were quite alarmed by it as a community, that there was another case for such a young person,” said the AngajukKâk.
