Since January 1, 2018, there have been 2,582 reported cases of hepatitis A in the state. The counties with "critical" number of cases are: Brevard, Citrus, Glades, Hernando, Hillsborough, Lake, Liberty, Manatee, Marion, Martin, Okeechobee, Orange, Pasco, Pinellas, Sumter, Taylor, and Volusia.
Since last year, several cases of hepatitis A in food service workers have been reported. The state health department says that so far, there haven't been any reported transmissions to restaurant patrons.
The state surgeon general also says any bathroom or shower facility used by the public should be sanitized at least once a day with a bleach solution or other CDC-approved disinfectant. The bleach solution consists of 1 2/3 cups of chlorine bleach per gallon of water. The disinfectant solutions should be applied to all surfaces for a minimum of one minute, health officials say.
