Dear Members of the Georgetown University Community, We are writing to inform you that a Capitol Campus community member has been diagnosed with tuberculosis. The individual is currently receiving treatment and doing well, and we are providing support and resources. We are working closely with the District of Columbia Department of Health (DC Health), which is leading the public health response including contact tracing, as well as with Georgetown's infectious disease experts. DC Health determines who must be notified or tested based on their level of potential exposure and will directly notify any community members who may need to be tested. For those individuals, testing will be available at the Student Health Center for students, or for faculty and staff through One Medical or their health care provider. DC Health will also have additional testing options available for community members identified as close contacts.
The alert localizes the case to the Capitol Campus rather than the main Hilltop campus, an important geographic cue for Georgetown's multi-campus community.
DC Health is named as the decision-maker on who gets notified or tested, and the alert promises direct contact, again gating action to defined close contacts.
Routing students to the Student Health Center and employees to One Medical reflects Georgetown's bifurcated care system rather than a single campus clinic.
