Amazon workers at Coventry warehouse tested for tuberculosis after outbreak

Company says TB testing carried out as ‘precaution’ after small number of workers contracted lung disease

A handful of workers from the site were found to have contagious tuberculosis (TB) last year, prompting the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) to begin running a screening programme in September.
