The Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) is reporting potential Hepatitis A exposure at a McDonald's in east Regina. 

A food handler at the McDonald's location at 2002 Aurora Boulevard was reportedly at risk of transmitting the virus to food served there from May 25 to June 5. 

The SHA says anyone worried they may have been infected should call 811 to reach the Saskatchewan HealthLine to be assessed for symptoms. If eligible, they can receive a vaccination against Hepatitis A from local health services. They are also advised to monitor for symptoms for up to 50 days.

Symptoms of Hepatitis A include fever, fatigue, loss of appetite, vomiting and diarrhea. It also may cause jaundice, which is the yellowing of the eyes and skin.

The risk of transmission for the virus is very low, but it is still possible.
