Long Beach Hotel Housing 'Homeless’ Sparks Tuberculosis Outbreak As Health Emergency Declared

A health crisis has emerged for Democrat officials in Long Beach, California, following a tuberculosis outbreak linked to a hotel housing 'homeless’ people, according to Fox News.

On Thursday, health officials declared a public health emergency after an alarming tuberculosis outbreak was reported at an unnamed hotel housing.

The city has so far confirmed 14 cases of tuberculosis in people „associated with a single room occupancy hotel.” Nine of them were hospitalized with one fatal case. Another 170 people were „likely exposed” to the deadly bacteria.

„The outbreak is currently isolated to a distinct population and the risk to the general public is low,” the city said, adding, „The population at risk in this outbreak has significant barriers to care, including homelessness and housing insecurity, mental illness, substance use and serious medical comorbidities.”

The reason health officials declined to name the hotel or its location is to comply with Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act regulations.

One X user said, „I believe the name of the hotel SHOULD BE DISCLOSED in the interest of traveler safety. OR does this mean the hotel is used to house illegal aliens invading our border? Long Beach declares public health emergency after deadly tuberculosis outbreak.”

The question now becomes if Long Beach officials were housing illegal migrants in the hotel…

If so, this isn’t the first time unvaccinated and undocumented illegal aliens have sparked infectious disease outbreaks in hotels and shelters nationwide.
