NYC Museums Fail to Warn Visitors Over Legionnaires’ Exposure

A New York Post review found that major NYC institutions, including the Met and Guggenheim, had cooling towers test positive for Legionella during a city outbreak, yet did not publicly warn visitors who may have been exposed, potentially endangering thousands. The outbreak has killed several and sickened dozens, while some smaller businesses did display notices; officials say remediation occurred and the sites posed no ongoing risk. City lawmakers are pushing to require proactive disclosures and real-time updates about infected areas.
