A food service worker at Harbor Restaurant at Pier 38 who was on the job as recently as Monday has come down with hepatitis A, the Health Department announced this afternoon.

People who ate at the restaurant from Aug. 26 to Sept. 12 may want to contact their health providers about getting a protective vaccine or immune globulin, the department said in a media release.

“Because of the long incubation period for hepatitis A, we are continuing to see new cases of this illness even after identifying and removing contaminated scallops from Hawaii restaurants, and individuals exposed in July and August may become ill as late as September or October,” said Dr. Sarah Park, state epidemiologist.

“We want the public to understand that this does not represent a new outbreak, nor is this restaurant considered a source of the ongoing outbreak.”

The risk of contracting the disease at the restaurant, located at 1133 N. Nimitz Highway, is low. The vaccine or immune globulin can prevent the disease if given within two weeks of exposure.

As of last week, there were 252 confirmed cases in the hepatitis A outbreak. The department will update the case count Wednesday.
