Customers who ate at Popeyes, located at 954 York Street, between May 29 and June 12 may have been exposed to the virus. In addition, diners at Harbour Town Yacht Club, located in Sea Pines, could have been exposed to the hepatitis A virus in the past month, a S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control news release says. DHEC was notified June 17 about an employee at the event venue who tested positive for the virus, a release says. Hepatitis A is a contagious liver virus. The employee worked at a social on June 8, a dinner on June 13 and a wedding party on June 14, the release says. A food service worker at Village Pizza Restaurant in Spring Hill Florida has been diagnosed with hepatitis A, according to the Florida Department of Health in Hernando County (DOH-Hernando).
