wandtv:

Officials are offering free preventive treatment to people possibly exposed to hepatitis A at a McDonald’s restaurant near the Quad Cities.

Kevin Murphy operates the McDonald’s restaurant in Milan (MY’-luhn). He says the restaurant learned from health officials on July 13 that 1 of his workers had been diagnosed with the virus.

That worker was diagnosed June 17. State health officials say they didn’t know about the case until July 13, and authorities are trying to figure out why the case went unreported for so long.
