Yankee Stadium Cooling Tower Alert | New York City News

Ten cooling towers in the South Bronx, including Yankee Stadium, tested positive for Legionella — yet fans at the Subway Series had no warning. Nine people are sick, one died, with three still hospitalized. The Health Commissioner says Legionella is everywhere and can’t be fully eliminated. The Yankees say their towers are new, regularly tested, and cleaned Sunday — and no games were postponed at city request. Officials urge anyone who visited since late August and feels ill to see a doctor. This isn’t the first outbreak: Morrisania was hit in May 2022, and the Upper East Side saw 11 deaths in July. More community meetings are coming. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
