Legionnaires’ Outbreak in Downtown Toronto | Vancouver News

Published 1 week, 4 days ago
Description

Toronto Public Health is investigating a cluster of six Legionnaires’ disease cases in downtown Toronto, centered around Bathurst and Dupont streets, with no confirmed source yet but potential links to nearby water systems. Symptoms include fever, cough, and muscle pain — treatable with antibiotics but dangerous for vulnerable populations. Officials are also monitoring a separate outbreak at a nearby long-term care home. While public risk remains low, experts urge homeowners to disinfect humidifiers, hot tubs, and keep water heaters above 60°C to prevent bacterial growth.
