Legionnaires' Outbreak on Upper East Side | New York City News

Published 1 week, 4 days ago
Description

Legionnaires’ disease is spreading on the Upper East Side with 18 confirmed cases—no deaths yet—but health officials are sounding the alarm. Cooling towers are the prime suspect, and inspectors are racing to test over 150 of them in the affected zip codes. This isn’t the first outbreak: a deadly Harlem cluster last year sickened 100 and killed 7. New city law mandates faster cooling tower testing to catch problems early—because time is running out.
