Legionnaires’ outbreak in NYC widens to 59 as bacteria shows up in park and Upper West Side building

New York City’s Legionnaires’ disease outbreak has risen to 59 cases, with Legionella bacteria detected for the first time in a city park area and at The Ardsley on the Upper West Side. Health officials say dozens of residents have been hospitalized and the cluster centers on Carnegie Hill and Yorkville on the Upper East Side. City testing of roughly 183 cooling towers found bacteria in 31 buildings—including the Guggenheim—with all towers since disinfected. Authorities caution anyone with flu-like symptoms to seek care, while the mayor notes there is no cooling-tower at The Ardsley and urges continued vigilance as more cases are expected.
