Health officials are investigating a deadly outbreak of Legionnaires' disease in a northern California county.
August 04, 2022, 1:21 PMA deadly Legionnaires' outbreak is linked to Napa Co. hotel's contaminated cooling tower in Napa, Calif., Aug. 4, 2022.Twelve residents of Napa County have been diagnosed and hospitalized with the rare lung infection since July 11, according to Napa County Public Health. Among those, one person has died and three people remain hospitalized, health officials said Wednesday.
"Our joint investigation team continues to work with Embassy Suites staff to remediate the source of exposure," Napa County health officer Dr. Karen Relucio said in a statement. "Finding Legionella in one water sample is an important piece of the puzzle, but we must continue to investigate other cooling towers and water sources in the outbreak area, as it is common to find more than one source.
"We are waiting for a full report with test results from the health department, however, remain diligent in our commitment to providing a safe, hospitable environment for all," the spokesperson said in a statement. "In keeping with that commitment and upon learning of their concerns, we immediately contacted our consultant and water treatment provider to ensure we were following the guidance set forth by the health department and began remediation.
