Health Secretary Nicola Sturgeon comments on the findings by the Incident Management Team on the Edinburgh legionnaires outbreak.
Ms Sturgeon said:
"The latest figures show that there are no further cases of legionnaires'. One patient is still in intensive care, and while I am pleased that this is down from a high of 15, the patient remains very ill.
"As well as the efforts being made by health service staff, a tremendous amount of work by the Health and Safety Executive and City of Edinburgh Council has taken place to identify and deal with the source of the outbreak. This investigation is continuing but the progress made to date, and reported in the latest meeting of the Incident Management Team, is encouraging."
