Overview
- Preliminary state results found Legionella in multiple water samples from Building 38E after a custodial employee was diagnosed with Legionnaires’ disease.
- The sheriff’s administration building is closed for mitigation, and employees assigned there are working remotely until the facility is cleared to reopen.
- Oakland County says the health department lacks in‑house testing capability, so confirmatory testing and remediation are proceeding with state laboratory support.
- Testing now includes the Oakland County Circuit Court Building as a due‑diligence step tied to an April case, and the courthouse remains open with no additional cases linked to it.
- Health officials urge employees and recent visitors with flu‑ or pneumonia‑like symptoms to seek medical care and note the potential exposure, with higher‑risk individuals advised to be especially vigilant.
