"Maine CDC Alerts Patrons to Possible Hepatitis A Exposure at 2 Westbrook Restaurants"

The Maine CDC has warned of possible hepatitis A exposure for patrons of two restaurants in Westbrook, Maine, due to a case of hepatitis A in a food service worker. Anyone who dined at Legends Rest Taproom and Paper City BBQ on specific dates in January and February may be at risk. The CDC is advising individuals to discard leftover food, get vaccinated within 14 days of exposure, and watch for symptoms such as fatigue, stomach pain, and jaundice. The restaurants are cooperating with the CDC, and hepatitis A cases in Maine have remained elevated since 2019.
