Statement from New York State Health Commissioner Dr. Howard Zucker

“New York City Health and Mental Hygiene Commissioner Dr. Mary Bassett has asked the state to assist in testing additional buildings for Legionella in the Bronx. At the Governor's direction, the state will extend our deployment effort and continue to test and provide remediation support as needed in order to meet that request.
