HONOLULU (AP) — Another food service worker on Oahu was diagnosed with hepatitis A.
The state Department of Health said Friday the employee worked at Tamashiro Market on King Street in Honolulu. The grocery store is known for fresh fish and poke.
The supermarket’s president, Cyrus Tamashiro, said he closed the store Friday and sent all the food-handling employees to be tested for hepatitis A. He said none of the food-handling employees will be allowed to return until they have tests to show they’re free of the virus.
The DOH says there were 135 confirmed hepatitis A cases on Oahu as of Wednesday.
Tamashiro’s is the seventh food service establishment where a food-handling employee was confirmed to have the virus.
