Toronto Public Health is out with an advisory over a confirmed case of Hepatitis A at a Scarborough restaurant.
Officials say anyone who ate at Cliffside Bistro on Kingston Road, near Midland Avenue on July 21st, July 25th to the 29th, and August 2nd to 4th may have been exposed to the virus.
Health authorities say an employee at the restaurant has the virus and that while there is a risk of the illness spreading, that risk is described as 'low.'
Hepatitis A can cause an infection of the liver.
Common symptoms of hepatitis A include fever, tiredness, loss of appetite, nausea/vomiting, dark urine, stomach pains and yellowing of the skin.
Toronto Public Health will hold free hepatitis A vaccination clinics for anyone who consumed food at Cliffside Bistro on August 2 and 4.
The hepatitis A vaccine is most effective when received within 14 days of exposure.
Those individuals who may have been exposed more than 14 days ago should watch for signs and symptoms and seek medical attention should any symptoms develop.
Vaccination Clinics will be held at the Scarborough Civic Centre rotunda:
• Tuesday, August 15 from 4 to 8 p.m.
• Wednesday, August 16 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
