Green Light for Thermal Spa in Bad Tatzmannsdorf

The district administration of Oberwart had ordered the closure of the spa after legionella was found in the bathwater during a routine inspection. Additionally, a person who had visited the spa in November fell ill with it. Subsequently, the affected facilities were disinfected and cleaned. A new sampling by the Biological Station in Illmitz (Neusiedl am See district) has now shown that the spa can reopen.

Pool in Sauna Area Remains Closed

In the pool in the sauna area, which remains closed for the time being, legionella was not detected at any time, emphasized district commissioner Peter Bubik. The health of the spa guests is the top priority. Legionella can cause flu-like symptoms and severe pneumonia, among other things.
