An outbreak of Legionnaires’ disease has sickened two residents of an Albert Lea, Minn., elder-care facility, according to an article on the Star Tribune website.
Public health officials are working to determine the cause of the outbreak at St. John’s Fountain Lake Community, a care facility that includes assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing care and independent living.
The first infection was detected in early June.
This is the second outbreak to hit a Minnesota elder-care facility in the past 10 months. Last September, two cases were reported at a facility in Maple Grove.
