Maine Restaurant Worker Tests Positive for Hepatitis A
According to News Center Maine, the Maine CDC can confirm that an employee at the Saco House of Pizza has tested positive for hepatitis A. They say that the person who has tested positive is in fact an employee that handles food at the eatery.
Maine CDC indicates that both fellow staff members and patrons of the restaurant who were there between August, 5th and August, 21st may be at risk for infection. While the infected individual was not responsible for preparing the food in the kitchen, they did have access to it.
