Ruled out

The State of Delaware has put a line through the Mantoux tuberculin skin test, it is now the "Tuberculosis Test" which
means a Mantoux skin test, Quantiferon Gold blood test, or other test approved by the Delaware Division of Public Health.
The new regulation has also made changes to those requiring to have a “Tuberculosis Test”:
  • New school staff and extended services personnel;
  • New school enterers (unless acceptable results of a Tuberculosis Risk Assessment administered in the previous 12 months prior to school entry can be provided).
Delaware is now open for business.
