This guidance document describes the updated procedures for control and prevention of travel associated legionnaires’ disease for participants in the European Surveillance Scheme for Travel Associated Legionnaires’ Disease (EWGLINET).
The guidelines offer a standardised approach to procedures for preventing and detecting legionella infections associated with travel and aim to further harmonise these procedures among Member States. However, national laws apply where advice on specific aspects of control and prevention differs between the European guidelines and regulations in force in Member States.
