Legionellosis in UK ex Greece

10 October 2011

There have been 9 cases of Legionnaires' disease in the United Kingdom (UK), all linked to travel to Corfu (Greece) since August (2011), according to the Health Protection Agency (HPA). However, the HPA cannot rule out a UK source of the infections and is still investigating. It is advising people to be aware of the symptoms of Legionnaires' disease if they are going to the Greek island.

Advice for Travellers

Travellers should follow local advice. If anyone develops respiratory symptoms whilst in Greece or on return home they should seek the advice of a GP.
