Hepatitis A alert issued after Grey Nuns hospital cafeteria worker tests positive

Health officials warned Thursday that people who ate food at the Grey Nuns Community Hospital during the last two months could have been exposed to hepatitis A.
The caution came after a food worker at the hospital cafeteria was confirmed to have the liver disease, spread primarily by direct contact with someone who’s infected or by consuming contaminated products.
“Hepatitis A is rare. It’s not common in Alberta, but we do see cases now and again, often travel acquired,”
