Two dead, 24 people affected in total, including 22 cured or in the process of recovery ... Legionellosis has affected the Strasbourg area since early November. Investigations were carried out to determine the sources of contamination of the disease. It is mainly transmitted by respiratory route or by inhalation of contaminated water.
Their results? Nothing definitive for the moment but the collective boiler of the boiler room in the Tanneries district, in Lingolsheim, "would be the source of contamination at the origin of this episode", announces the prefecture of Bas-Rhin.
“Pending the production of the final results, the boiler was shut down as a precaution on December 12. No case of legionellosis has been declared since that date, ”also said the prefecture in a press release.
