University Health Services has identified a case of hepatitis A in a student who worked in food service at Rheta's Market. The student was infectious while working, and we are contacting all campus members who may have visited Rheta's Market during the infectious period. The facility has undergone thorough cleaning by the Environment, Health and Safety team. The diagnosed student will not return to work until they are medically cleared. If you visited Rheta's Market during this period, please monitor for symptoms, including fatigue, nausea, jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes) and abdominal pain, and seek medical attention if symptoms develop. UHS has 24/7 medical advice available through the weekend.
This text has been reconstructed from news coverage and may not reflect the exact original wording.
The notice names a single specific venue (Rheta's Market) and a defined infectious window, letting roughly 4,000 recipients self-assess whether they ate there at the relevant time.
Listing jaundice and other hepatitis A symptoms gives a concrete self-screen, and the email's weekend timing is backed by the explicit promise of 24/7 medical advice.
Stating that the worker 'will not return to work until medically cleared' addresses the obvious ongoing-risk worry without naming or stigmatizing the individual.
