Legionnaires' Outbreak in Upper East Side | US News
Description
Legionnaires’ disease is on the rise in NYC’s Upper East Side, with 23 cases and 17 hospitalized — but no deaths yet. Health officials are zeroing in on cooling towers as the likely source, not home plumbing, so tap water, showers, and cooking are still safe. The bacteria, Legionella, spreads via mist, not person-to-person, and is treatable with antibiotics — especially if caught early. If you’re in the area and feeling flu-like symptoms, see a doctor ASAP.
