Llandrindod Wells Hospital located in Powys had to be cleaned up thoroughly as Legionnaires' disease spreading bug was discovered in some parts of the hospital. Water was suspected to have been affected by the bug.

Although the proper measures have been placed, no case of infection has yet been reported. Dr. Sumina Azam from Public Health said, “It's important to remember that there have been no reported cases of Legionnaires' disease and that the disease cannot be passed from person to person”.

However, it has come to light that about three people of Carmarthen had been infected by the bug. The health officials have informed that a person affected by the bug can develop flu like symptoms. If not treated timely then a person can be affected with pneumonia.

Investigation in Carmarthen has been called for. The investigators will be looking at the infected areas and would try to gauge as to from where the bug entered the water tanks. However, people above the age of 50 years need to be extra careful as for them the bug could be extremely dangerous. The disease is rare in nature and therefore precautionary measures are required to be taken.
