(Quincy, IL) — There’s another case of Legionnaires’ disease at the state veterans home in Quincy. The Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs yesterday said the latest case is the fourth in a little more than a week. Doctors say the resident is in stable condition. The Illinois VA and the state’s Department of Public Health have been fighting Legionnaires’ at the home since 2015. Since then, 13 people have died from the disease and dozens of others have gotten sick.
