In short

Victorian health authorities have detected and treated a cooling tower believed to be the source of a legionnaires' disease outbreak in Melbourne.

Chief health officer Dr Clare Looker believes the peak of the outbreak has passed.

What's next?

Health authorities will continue to test cooling towers in the unlikely event of a second source of the spread of the outbreak.

I was feeling a bit antsy and there wasn't a thread yet at 22 past midnight.

Have a great day everyone. May you and the animals of the DT who like sunbathing get some sun.
