What exactly is Legionnaires' and how do people get it? So far this year, there have been over 100 confirmed cases of Legionnaires' disease in New York. The first case linked to the outbreak was reported on July 25. Since then, six people have died. The city says the outbreak has been linked to contaminated cooling towers and one internal hot water plumbing system. In New York City, building owners and managers are required to register cooling towers with the city and regularly test the water for Legionella. #nyc #health #legionnaires Streaming: 4.nbcny.com/omTY3Qz Facebook: 4.nbcny.com/mbeh714 Instagram: 4.nbcny.com/g5YlkcI X: 4.nbcny.com/kAuuwUN TikTok: 4.nbcny.com/FSFRlmD NBC 4 New York / WNBC is the flagship station of the NBC Owned Television Stations division of NBCUniversal, serving the New York Tri-State area with an unparalleled commitment to excellence for more than 75 years.
