Legionnaires’ Outbreak in Harlem Kills One, Sickens 22
A Legionnaires’ disease outbreak in Central Harlem, New York City, has resulted in at least 22 confirmed cases and one death since July 25, 2024, spanning ZIP codes 10027, 10030, 10035, 10037, and 10039. The NYC Health Department is investigating and has ordered immediate remediation of affected cooling towers. Legionnaires’ disease, a severe pneumonia caused by inhaling water vapor containing Legionella bacteria, is not spread person-to-person and poses the greatest risk to older adults, smokers, and people with chronic lung conditions or weakened immune systems. Residents with flu-like symptoms are urged to seek prompt medical care, as early antibiotics can be lifesaving. The outbreak is not connected to plumbing or drinking water, and the risk to the general public remains low. Officials continue to monitor and test cooling systems, and the incident highlights ongoing vigilance needed for public water systems.
