Health officials have commenced an inquiry into a Legionnaires' disease outbreak in Rotherham, following an increase in reported cases over the past month. The UKHSA is working with Rotherham Council to find common sources, though many cases have no identifiable origin. The severe pneumonia is usually caught by breathing in water droplets and is treated with antibiotics.
