Hepatitis linked to Melbourne café
Five people have been struck down with Hepatitis A in an outbreak traced to Zanzibar Cafe on Latrobe Street in Melbourne's city centre.
Victoria's Department of Human Services said the outbreak has been linked to a food handler who also worked part time as a cleaner.
A 65-year-old man from Doncaster, a 32-year-old woman from Reservoir, a 51-year-old man from East Malvern and a 54-year-old man from Aspendale were among those affected. The department was notified of a fifth case on Friday afternoon.
An extensive clean up of the cafe had been carried out under the supervision of Melbourne City Council.
Hepatitis A is found in feces of the infected person and can be spread by direct contact with food, beverages or crockery.
Dude wash your damn hands. And don't eat poop.
