The municipality of Valongo confirmed the existence of two outbreaks of legionella, one in Sobrado and another in Ermesinde. The health authorities identified the bacteria in both locations, leading to the adoption of security measures in the affected facilities.
A third and final counter-analysis is planned, which will be carried out this week. This counter-analysis is the final step in the verification process of the sanitary conditions in the identified locations.
If the result of this third analysis is negative, the facilities may reopen without restrictions, allowing a return to normality. This information was added by the competent authorities.
The situation is being closely monitored by the municipality, which awaits the final results to determine the next steps and guarantee the safety of the population in the affected areas.
