Dear Neighbor,

Join us this evening for an important virtual town hall on the Legionnaires’ disease cluster impacting the Morrisania and Mott Haven communities.

Residents in ZIP codes 10451, 10455, 10456, and 10459 are encouraged to join the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene for important information about the cluster, health and safety guidance, and available resources.

Anyone who currently lives or works in these ZIP codes, or who has visited since late August and is experiencing flu-like symptoms, such as fever, cough, or difficulty breathing, should contact a healthcare provider immediately.

Please share this information with your friends and family, and if you have additional questions, you can contact our office at 718-590-3500. You can also visit the NYC Health website for real-time updates.

 

Be Safe & Be Well,

Vanessa L. Gibson
Bronx Borough President
