DSHS Waives TB Testing Requirements

DSHS Waives TB Testing Requirements

The Department of Social and Health Services filed an emergency rule effective April 2, 2020 to
suspend requirements related to tuberculosis (TB) testing in WACs 388-78A-2480(1), -2485(1),
and -2484. These rules are suspended in response to the significant threat of COVID-19 to our
most vulnerable populations, especially for those receiving long-term care services in their
homes and congregate settings, such as long-term care facilities. More
