A worker in a North Bay bar has been confirmed to have
Hepatitis A and health unit officials are asking anyone that may have been
served there in the past month or so to see their doctor if they have
symptoms.
On New Year’s Eve Day, lab results confirmed an employee
from the Fraser Tavern, a bar in North
Bay — located at 680 Fraser St. — had Hepatitis A.
Public health officials would not say where in the bar the
employee worked, only that he or she worked at the tavern while infectious on
Nov. 26, 27 and Dec. 3, 4, 10 and 11.
North Bay Parry Sound District Health Unit officials are
asking those who had drinks or food or garnishes served to them on those
dates to be aware.
“As a precautionary measure, we suggest bar patrons see
their health care provider if they experience any of the symptoms (of
Hepatitis A),” said Sheila Marchant-Short, manager
of the communicable disease control for the health unit, in a press release.
