Legionnaires' Outbreak in Upper East Side | New York City News
Description
Ten Legionnaires’ disease cases have been confirmed in Manhattan’s Upper East Side, prompting a citywide investigation. Health officials are testing cooling towers in the area, reassuring residents that tap water and air conditioners are safe to use. The illness, caused by inhaling contaminated water mist, mimics severe flu symptoms and can be deadly — especially since a similar outbreak last summer claimed lives. If you’ve been in the area since late June and feel sick, get checked out — call 311 for help.
