Shangluo University, in northwestern China’s Shaanxi Province, suffered an outbreak of tuberculosis starting early last month, but the school and local government concealed the epidemic until a student shared the information with a news agency.
On Nov. 29, a sophomore student at Shangluo University told The Paper, a Shanghai-based state-run outlet, that students at the school had contracted tuberculosis earlier in the month. Most patients were seniors who lived in the same dormitory complex.
