At least 14 suspected and confirmed cases of Legionnaires’ disease allegedly stemming from the same Orlando gym have been reported to the Florida Department of Health, according to local media.

While the Florida Department of Health has not released the name of the gym at the center of the outbreak, local media has identified the location as Crunch Fitness in Ocoee.

Sen. Carlos Guillermo Smith told reporters that the gym’s spa was closed due to violations found following a regulatory inspection. The inspection included testing disinfectant levels, temperature and water pH levels, according to local media.

A Listeria monocytogenes outbreak caused the recall of over 200,000 pounds of Boar’s Head deli meat products, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Services announced Friday. 

The recalled products include ready-to-eat liverwurst produced between June 11 and July 17. The company is also recalling other deli meats that were a part of the same assembly line that could have been exposed to the outbreak. 

The recall was prompted by a Listeria monocytogenes infection investigation by the Maryland Department of Health and the Baltimore City Health Department. The Centers for Disease Control has identified 34 cases of Listeria from deli meat across 13 states. At least two people died from exposure as of last week and there have been approximately 33 hospitalizations.
