Disease has commonalities with COVID-19; some cases may have gone undiagnosed

Montreal's public health department is asking doctors to look out for instances of legionnaires' disease after seven cases were discovered in southwest Montreal over the last six weeks.

Like COVID-19, legionnaire's disease can cause pneumonia, which has led health officials to believe that some cases may have gone undiagnosed in recent months as the health-care system focused on the novel coronavirus.

An investigation into the seven cases did not reveal any links between them or a common source.

I did mention this was likely to occur in the main discussion thread a while ago. A lot of hotels, and others, with water systems have not been in use for a while and need to be checked before being put back into operation.
