Another five cases have been added to the burgeoning outbreak of a severe kind of pneumonia, Legionnaires' disease, on the Upper East Side, as city health investigators push to find and remedy the source of infection.⁠
⁠
As of late Tuesday, the NYC Health Department says there have been 28 cases connected to this cluster. Seventy-five percent of those cases have required hospitalization. No one has died at this time.⁠
⁠
The outbreak right now is confined to the Carnegie Hill and Yorkville sections of the Upper East Side, ZIP codes 10028, 10128, and 10075. Health officials say people who live in those ZIP codes can drink tap water, bathe, shower, and use air conditioners as they normally would. It's not a plumbing issue; it's likely a cooling tower.⁠
