ABC News At least 14 cases of Legionnaires’ disease have been reported in central Florida.
In an email to state Sen. Carlos Guillermo Smith, the Florida Department of Health revealed the outbreak is linked to a gym, reported ABC News affiliate WFTV.
The letter from the department did not list the name of the gym, but WFTV previously reported that a Crunch Fitness in Ocoee — 12 miles west of Orlando — had members reporting cases of Legionnaires’ disease. However, preliminary test results shared with ABC News by Crunch Fitness in Ocoee indicated testing by state officials did not find evidence of the bacteria that causes Legionnaire’s disease in the samples taken so far at the gym.
