DANVILLE ? The Vermilion County Health Department is warning residents of a possible legionnaire's disease outbreak.
County Health Administrator Doug Toole said Wednesday three people who stayed at a hotel in Vermilion County over the past year have since been infected with the disease.
He said the Illinois Department of Public Health was at the hotel Wednesday afternoon collecting water samples in the pool area and in one hotel room for testing the presence of the disease.
The cases will be sent into a state database, and they'll see if more people come forward and look for a common source, Toole said...
