Sick Red Robin Worker May Have Exposed As Many As 5,000 People To Hepatitis A

A sick restaurant worker in Missouri may have exposed thousands of Red Robin customers to hepatitis A. On Wednesday, county health officials announced that people who visited the chain's location in Springfield between May 8 and May 16 may have come in contact with the virus. According to the Springfield News-Leader, as many as 5,000 people may have been affected. However, since the employee worked at the restaurant for several months before the infection was discovered, it's possible that many others who visited the Red Robin were exposed to hepatitis A, local news outlet KSPR notes.
