## Resource

New York City faces a deadly Legionnaires’ disease outbreak, with a third fatality confirmed and at least 74 cases now reported — eight still hospitalized. The outbreak is centered in the Upper East Side, including Carnegie Hill and Yorkville, and officials suspect contaminated water systems, possibly cooling towers, as the source. Symptoms mimic the flu and may appear up to two weeks after exposure, so anyone in affected areas feeling unwell should seek medical care immediately. Legionnaires’ disease, a severe pneumonia caused by inhaling Legionella bacteria, thrives in warm water systems and doesn’t spread person-to-person. While most recover with treatment, vulnerable populations face higher risks — and deaths are possible. Health officials are ramping up inspections to stop the spread and urge public vigilance as cases have risen nationally over the past decade, dipping during the pandemic before climbing again.
