Infants test negative for TB after exposure at Scarborough hospital
CLASSIC MOMENTS
The Scarborough Hospital says all tests for tuberculosis so far have been negative on infants thought to have been exposed to the disease in its neonatal intensive care unit. The hospital announced last week 87 babies would be tested at special clinics because they had contact from April 1 to July 18 with a nurse who tested positive for TB. Skin tests and chest x-rays, however, gave no positive results when 77 of the babies were tested, the hospital reported this week. Eight more of the infants are scheduled for tests. The hospital, however, has so far not been able to inform families of the two remaining babies of the need for tests. “We are confident we will be able to reach those two in the coming days,” Cindy Woods, a spokesperson, said Friday, Aug. 10.

Town hall meeting held to discuss Danzig shooting Attempting to continue conversations he hopes will reduce the risk of violence in the West Hill area, a Scarborough MP is calling residents, community agencies, faith leaders and police to a local church this month. The Aug. 25 town hall follows up
a meeting John McKay held at St. Martin de Porres Catholic Church a few days after the Danzig Street shooting left two people dead and nearly two dozen others injured. The Scarborough-Guildwood MP said the second forum at the church is an opportunity to share

information. “One of the common concerns that we heard (at the first meeting) was that both residents and community leaders are generally unaware of the many services that are already available to assist people in the area,” he said in a @SCMirror
statement this week. “With better outreach and co-operation, we can all help to remedy this situation and bring support to those who need it most.” The latest gathering is scheduled from 10 a.m. to noon at the church,
which is at 4179 Lawrence Avenue East at Morningside Avenue, not far from the shooting scene. People can reserve a seat or get more information, the release said, by phoning 416-283-1126 or writing to Bennett Donahue at bennett@johnmckaymp.on.ca
