A case of Hepatitis A has been confirmed at the Pinellas County Jail.

An inmate at the jail is currently being treated for the disease in the medical ward, a sheriff’s office spokesman confirmed. Officials say more than 2,000 people at the jail have been vaccinated so far.

Lindsey Marceau tells 8 On Your Side her husband tested positive for Hep A several weeks ago. He was placed in quarantine but has since been released.

“They ran several tests on him and confirmed he contracted Hep A and it was through food,” Marceau said. “He could barely talk and I was very concerned for him. He couldn’t use the bathroom or anything. He was jaundice.”

Marceau says her husband told her many of the inmates are showing symptoms.

“I am concerned for other inmates that are coming out that have the virus and could potentially infect other people,” she added.

Authorities say inmates are offered the vaccine when they’re processed in the jail, but an inmate is allowed to decline the vaccine.
