An outbreak of Legionnaires’ disease occurred in late February in Friesland province with more than 200 infected and 19 deaths. The outbreak affected attendees of a popular flower show but the source turned out to be a hot tub exhibit that was part of a consumer products show next to the flower show. To dispel any worries for visitors to the famous Keukenhof Gardens, which are two hours away, all installations there were inspected and declared safe. The gardens are open for visits until May 19.
