The Middlesex-London Health Unit is informing members of the community of four additional measles exposures.
For location and time of all current exposures, visit: www.healthunit.com/possible-measles-exposures-ml-region

If you think you may have measles and need to see a health care provider, you must call the clinic or hospital before you go to inform them that you may have been exposed to measles. This will allow health care staff to take the necessary precautions to reduce the risk of infection and protect others visiting the office, clinic or hospital.

Today the Middlesex-London Health Unit is reporting 69 outbreak-related cases of Legionella, 3 more than the previous week. It is encouraging to see a slowdown in new cases reported. We have tested dozens and dozens of cooling towers in our effort to find the source of the current outbreak of Legionnaires’ Disease. Legionella bacteria was found at multiple locations. Now the laboratory will attempt to culture (grow) that bacteria so we learn whether it is a match for the samples from the confirmed cases. This process takes several weeks. In the meantime, any sources of legionella identified is being cleaned up – reducing the risk for residents in the area.

Please visit https://www.healthunit.com/confirmed-legionnaires-disease-cases for more information about the outbreak and a new, updated map showing where we have indicated a concentration of cases.

Legionella are bacteria that live in water and soil and can cause two types of illness: Legionnaire’s disease and Pontiac fever, a milder version. Stagnant, warm water and the presence of biofilm, scale and sediment can promote the growth of this bacteria.

Outbreaks are commonly associated with buildings that have large, complex water systems, like hotels, resorts, long-term care homes and hospitals. The source of exposure is inhaling water droplets from showers, whirlpool bathtubs, hot tubs, decorative fountains and, most often, cooling towers (that are part of centralized air conditioning systems).

If you’re a cooling tower operator, learn about prevention here: www.healthunit.com/health-hazards (link in bio)
