Knoxville, Knox County (WVLT) — The East Tennessee Regional Health Department is getting set to release at least one source of the Hepatitis-A outbreak in Campbell County.
The Health Department is expected to release that information at a news conference around 11:45 am.
We also anticipate a release of some phone numbers for a phone bank where you can call to either get more information or report if you have eaten at the restaurant or have any symptoms.
So far there are 13 cases of Hepatitis-A in Campbell and surrounding counties, with 3 cases still pending.
The Health Department says that just because they are releasing one source does not mean that it’s the only source. And they expect more work over the next few weeks as they start hearing from residents in the area.
