Patients at Brooklyn Methodist Hospital in Brooklyn, N.Y., were still using water bottles and body wipes in March after legionella bacteria was found in the hospital's water in December, according to an article on the Park Slope Patch website.
The bacteria was found in certain inpatient units during routine water safety testing.
A spokesperson for the hospital told Patch that they have "taken steps to disinfect" the water, but did not respond to more specific questions about hygiene concerns or how long resolving the issue will take.
State health officials said they are still investigating two cases of legionellosis that may be linked to the hospital, one from November and another from December.
