Local residents who’ve visited the Algonac Flaming Grill may want to take note.
The Chatham-Kent Public Health Unit is looking to speak anyone who went to the restaurant between October 6th and the 20th about a possible Hepatitis A exposure.
According to the World Health Organization, The hepatitis A virus is transmitted through ingestion of contaminated food and water or through direct contact with an infectious person.
A statement on the restaurant’s Facebook account says a new staff member was diagnosed with the liver disease earlier this month, but had no contact with the kitchen or food.
Symptoms of Hepatitis A include fever, nausea, stomach pain, vomiting, and yellowing of the skin and eyes.
If you think you may have been exposed to the disease, call the Chatham Kent Public Health Unit at 519.355.1071 x5900.
