Three people have died and at least 67 people have been diagnosed with Legionnaires’ disease in a cluster that broke out in New York City last week.

A Legionnaires' disease outbreak in New York City has infected 67 people and caused three deaths, the city Department of Health and Mental Hygiene said.

Adults who have been in the affected area since late July with flu-like symptoms, fever, cough, or difficulty breathing should seek immediate medical attention, health officials say.
