A deadly Legionnaires' disease outbreak in New York City has set health and community leaders on a campaign to educate the public on ways to prevent the bacteria from growing and spreading.

A Legionnaires’ disease outbreak in New York City has left 70 people sick and three dead. Officials suspect cooling towers to be the source of the Legionella bacteria.

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.
