(CHICAGO TRIBUNE) — Two people have died after contracting Legionnaires’ disease in an outbreak linked to a downtown Marriott hotel this summer, Chicago Department of Public Health officials said Monday.
The two dead are among eight people who came down with Legionnaires’ after staying in the JW Marriott at 151 W. Adams St. between mid-July and mid-August.
None of the eight people who contracted the disease are from the Chicago area or are being treated here, but city officials declined to provide any further information about them, citing privacy laws. The conditions of the six surviving people who caught Legionnaires’ is not known.
