    The Health Department is investigating a community cluster of Legionnaires' disease in Central Harlem (ZIP codes 10027, 10030, 10035, 10037, and 10039).

    The risk to most people is low, but if you live or work around these ZIP codes and have flu-like symptoms, see a health care provider right away.
