The State of North Carolina notified Caldwell County this late afternoon about a confirmed case of Hepatitis A in an individual who works at KFC in Hudson.
According to state guidelines, transmission to patrons is unlikely, so vaccination for restaurant patrons is not recommended at this time.
The individual diagnosed with Hepatitis A is being treated. Individuals who came in close contact with the patient have been notified.
Anyone with questions can call the Caldwell County Health Department at 828-426-8400.
