Health officials in California said that at least 10 cases of tuberculosis have been linked to a casino in Contra Costa County, urging people to undergo testing for the potentially deadly bacteria.

In a statement issued last week, Contra Costa Health said that genetic testing showed there were cases among staff members and customers at the California Grand Casino in Pacheco. It said that the cases occurred over the past five years or so.
