Hepatitis A case confirmed at B.C. ski resort restaurant

Posted: January 31st, 2008 - 7:16am by Doug Powell

The British Columbia Interior Health Authority warned yesterday that people who ate at the Sun Peaks ski resort near Kamloops between January 7 and 24 may have been exposed to Hepatitis A.

Dr. Digby Horne, the medical health officer for the Thompson-Cariboo-Shuswap area told CBC News on Wednesday morning that a food handler at Masa’s Bar and Grill developed the virus after travelling outside of the county.

As a result, Interior Health is urging anyone who ate at Masa’s after 3 p.m. PT on January 16, 18, 20, 23 or 24 to get vaccinated.

And food handlers, wash your damn hands.
