Barcelona are reportedly dealing with a potential tuberculosis outbreak at Camp Nou. Work is ongoing to renovate Spotify Camp Nou, with the Blaugrana hoping to return to their home ground before 2026.

Information from El Pais, as carried by Sport, explains that the Public Health Agency of Barcelona (ASPB) is investigating a possible outbreak of tuberculosis among the labourers working on the stadium. The news has broken just a day after a union protest against the dismissal of 50 workers by contractors Ekstreme Works and Limak, complaining also of poor working conditions. These were not related to the safety of the conditions, although back in 2023, this was raised as an issue.

Outbreak of tuberculosis pending test results

The investigation comes after one of the workers was admitted to hospital after contracting matching symptoms. The 23-person team that was working with the patient in question has been tested, and three of them are still awaiting the results of the test. The ASPB will not consider it an outbreak until there are two confirmed cases.
