If you are in Calgary and ate at McDonald’s between Oct. 1 and Oct. 23, you may have been exposed to Hep A. A food handler at a Calgary McDonald’s was confirmed to have the infectious disease. They closed the restaurant for several hours in order to dispose of anything that may have become contaminated and to disinfect the building.
