Legionnaires' -- United States
The Illinois Department of Public Health reports 2 new, laboratory-confirmed cases of legionnaires' disease at an Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy. After learning of the 2 cases, staff removed faucets from the residents' rooms right away and collected water samples. Both residents are back at the Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy and are doing well.
The veterans home just completed an extensive renovation of its plumbing systems last year [2017] after a 2015 legionnaires' disease outbreak.
