How is Legionnaires’ Disease Transmitted?
Legionnaires’ disease is a severe form of pneumonia that develops when people inhale water vapor that is contaminated with Legionella bacteria. It is not transmitted through person-to-person contact.
Legionella bacteria occur in nature but thrive in complex water systems found in hotels, commercial buildings, and cruise ships. “Because water systems at hotels are susceptible to Legionella contamination they should implement water management plans that protect their guests,” said Eric Hageman, a Legionnaires’ disease attorney with Pritzker Hageman.

None of the four people who are part of the is outbreak stayed overnight at the hotel. But all for spent time there before they became ill between January 22, 2019, and January 27, 2019. Minnesota health officials say it’s possible that there are other cases and urge anyone who visited the hotel between January 14, 2019, and February 13, 2019, who is experiencing pneumonia symptoms to get evaluated for Legionnaires’ disease.
