(CLARK CO.) - An employee at a southern Indiana McDonald’s has been diagnosed with hepatitis A, according to Clark County health officials.

The Clark County Health Department says an employee at the McDonald's located at 1420 Eastern Boulevard in Clarksville, off of Lewis and Clark Parkway, tested positive for the virus.

Customers who visited the location from May 9-30 may have been exposed to the virus.

The risk for transmission of the virus at this location is said to be low, the health department said.

In light of the outbreak, declared in November, health officials in both Indiana and Kentucky recommend residents get the two doses of the hepatitis A vaccine.

Since November, there have been 425 cases diagnosed in Louisville and more than 66,500 people vaccinated.
