The Middlesex-London Health Unit has confirmed that Victoria Hospital’s cooling towers have tested positive for Legionella bacteria.

More testing is now underway to find out if it matches the strain causing the community outbreak. Those results will take approximately three weeks. We want to be clear: this does not mean Victoria Hospital is the source of the community outbreak and the risk to patients, staff, and visitors remains very low.

A chemical clean of the cooling towers has been initiated and a systematic terminal clean will follow.
