Residents who dined at The Red Inn restaurant and hotel between April 30 and May 15 may be at risk of hepatitis A infection. According to the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, a food service employee with confirmed hepatitis A has worked there during this time.
Early symptoms include fever, fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and jaundice. The virus can spread through contact with an infected person’s feces, handling contaminated food or drinks, or close contact with someone who is sick.
Those who may have been exposed are advised to wash their hands thoroughly before preparing food and seek medical attention if symptoms appear. If you’ve already received the hepatitis A vaccine, your health provider should check your vaccination status. For more information, call the Massachusetts Department of Public Health’s epidemiology department at 617-983-6800.
