Legionnaires Outbreak Hits Upper East Side | New York City News
Description
Legionnaires’ disease is spreading on the Upper East Side, with 36 confirmed cases and 22 hospitalized — no deaths yet. Health officials have flagged key buildings for investigation and are urging all local buildings to clean cooling towers to halt the outbreak. The bacteria, which thrives in warm water and spreads via outdoor air, isn’t contagious between people. The outbreak is concentrated in Carnegie Hill and Yorkville, and a list of “buildings of interest” will be released soon. Public health officials are acting swiftly to protect the community.
