Health officials are looking for people who may have been at the Zen Day Spa in Richmond over the past two weeks, which was visited by three people -- including two who died last week -- who recently contracted Legionnaires' disease.
Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Chairperson John Gioia, who represents Richmond on the board, said Monday that it's critical for anyone who visited the spa come forward immediately. Gioia is also calling on Contra Costa Health to investigate and identify unpermitted spas throughout the county. He said Zen Day Spa didn't have the required county environmental health permit from the health department and he's waiting to find out if it had a required use permit from the City of Richmond.
"Right now, the emphasis is tracking down people who were there the past two weeks," Gioia said."It's a bit like contact tracing."The spa was closed Friday after two people died on Thursday and Friday. Health officials said both people had visited the spa, at 12230 San Pablo Ave., just days before getting sick.
