Reason of Legionnaires’ outbreak could be the hot tub

It has been stated that the probable reason of the recent outbreak of the Legionnaires' disease was the tub which was turned on for display purposes in the JTF Mega Discount Warehouse in Stoke-on-Trent.

Legionnaires' disease is still affecting people and about eight cases are still being treated for this disease by doctors in hospital. There has been one death over the weekend.

It was last week when the deadly water bug attacked and in total, 16 people were caught up in the scare.

Nothing has been stated about the patient who died when it comes to his details and it has not been stated if the disease was the cause of the death.

There has been no fresh case recorded by the Health Protection Agency and three other people have been discharged.

A spokesman for -University Hospital of North Staffordshire said, "Eight patients remain in hospital. All are in a stable or improving condition. Three patients were well enough to go home today and have been discharged."

One has been moved to a unit at Glenfield hospital, Leicester, in a critical but stable condition.
