As a result, the HHSA is working with MTS officials to notify individuals who were possibly exposed. Riders using the following routes between Feb. 16 to July 16 were potentially exposed and are at risk for infection:
-- Bus route 950 from Otay Mesa Transit Center toward Iris Avenue Transit Center Monday through Friday between 4:30 to 6 a.m.;-- Blue Line Trolley from Iris Avenue to H Street from 5 to 6:30 a.m.; andPotentially affected passengers are advised to consult with their medical provider or contact the county TB Control Program at 619-692-8621 to arrange testing.
