The Oakland County Sheriff’s Office temporarily closes its administration building after preliminary tests detect Legionella bacteria.<\/p>\n
The sheriff’s office says closure for Building 38E is effective Friday through the weekend.<\/p>\n
“Testing was initiated after a custodial employee assigned to the building was diagnosed with Legionnaires’ Disease. Several water samples collected from the facility returned positive results,” the sheriff’s office said in a news release. “In coordination with the Oakland County Health Division and county leadership, mitigation measures have begun, and the building will remain closed until it is deemed safe to reopen.”<\/p>\n
Officials say employees assigned to the building will work remotely on Friday.<\/p>\n
The sheriff’s office urges anyone who has recently visited the building and is experiencing flu-like or pneumonia-like symptoms to seek medical care.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Oakland County Sheriff’s Office temporarily closes its administration building after preliminary tests detect Legionella bacteria.
