At least three people in Virginia died in connection to a hepatitis A outbreak linked to the Famous Anthony’s restaurant chain, officials said.
“This heartbreaking loss of life illustrates how serious this outbreak is,” Cynthia Morrow, the health district director for the Roanoke City and Alleghany Health Districts (RCAHD), said in a news release last week. “Unfortunately, in this situation, we have seen many individuals experiencing severe disease, and in some cases, their symptoms have continued to progress over weeks.”
