周五,纽约市卫生部门发布名单,指出位于上东区的31栋建筑的冷却塔检测出导致军团病的细菌 [1]。这份清单包括大都会艺术博物馆、林肯中心以及索美塞特酒店在内的多座地标性建筑,同时也列出了古根海姆博物馆 [1]。尽管检测结果呈阳性,但官员强调这并不确认这些建筑是疫情的源头,且目前对室内人员无风险 [1]。
针对此次发现,纽约市卫生部门要求上述31栋建筑的冷却塔立即进行清洁和消毒 [1]。古根海姆博物馆方面声明称已完成相关补救措施(remediation),并表示目前无需采取额外行动,确认对进入室内的公众不构成风险 [1]。其余建筑预计将在周六前完成相应的清理工作 [1]。
截至目前,已有超过50人被诊断出与上东区集群相关的军团病病例 [1]。在这些确诊患者中,少于20人需要住院治疗,目前尚无死亡报告 [1]。
The New York City Department of Health released a list on Friday identifying the cooling towers of 31 Upper East Side buildings, including the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, as testing positive for bacteria linked to Legionnaires'. [1] Officials emphasized that these positive results do not confirm any single building is the source of the current outbreak and stated there is no risk to people inside the structures at this time. [1] The museum issued a statement confirming it has completed remediation efforts and requires no further action, asserting that indoor occupants are safe. [1] Cleaning and disinfection protocols were mandated for all 31 buildings by Friday; while the Guggenheim is finished with its work, officials expect the remaining sites to complete their procedures before Saturday. [1] As of now, more than 50 individuals have been diagnosed with Legionnaires' associated with this Upper East Side cluster, fewer than 20 required hospitalization, and there are no reported deaths.
