ALBANY, N.Y., Sept. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Albany County Department of Health is investigating an outbreak of Legionella at the Peregrine Senior Living at Shaker. Since the discovery of Legionella bacteria in the facility's water, 20 people have been hospitalized and 10 at least people have tested positive for Legionnaires' disease. Tragically, 4 people have died.

"Legionnaires' disease is a very serious illness. Most people who get Legionnaires' disease will require hospitalization. 1 out of every 10 people who become sick with Legionnaires' disease will die. This is why ensuring outbreaks like this are prevented is critical," says attorney Jory Lange.
