High Point South Condominium management was recently notified by the Worcester County Health Department and the Maryland Department of Health that two people who were recent guests at our facility subsequently developed legionellosis, a form of pneumonia.

The bacteria that cause legionellosis are found in many different water sources ‐ manmade and natural ‐ and it is not certain that those guests who tested positive for legionellosis acquired the illness at our facility. However, this facility always puts its guests first, so we want you to be aware of this possible association and provide you with some information about legionellosis so you can make an informed decision concerning your stay here.

Who gets legionellosis?
Anyone can get this disease; however, certain people are more likely to get legionellosis. Individuals most at‐risk are smokers, people over age 50, those with lung or kidney disease, diabetes, cancer, or weakened immune systems because of diseases or medications.

How do you get legionellosis?
