Three people have died and at least 67 people have been diagnosed with Legionnaires’ disease in a cluster that broke out in New York City last week.

A Legionnaires' disease outbreak in New York City has infected 67 people and caused three deaths, the city Department of Health and Mental Hygiene said.

Fifty-eight people in New York City have been diagnosed with Legionnaires’ disease, a serious bacterial lung infection, and two people have died, according to the city health department.

A second minor earthquake has rattled the New York metropolitan area within several days. The 2.7 magnitude quake struck Tuesday afternoon near Hillsdale, New Jersey, northwest of the Bronx.

While earthquakes are relatively uncommon in the Northeast, the events highlight the region's ongoing seismic activity.
