Hepatitis warning
Hepatitis is still increasing in Christchurch.
Another five cases of the disease were reported to the Health Department in Christchurch last week, making a total of 19 cases in the last three weeks.
Departmental officers have already warned that it might be the start of a
hepatitis outbreak. They advised anyone who
had a flu-like illness with some abdominal discomfort to be aware that they might have hepatitis. It was important to avoid handling food or other contact which
could spread hepatitis in its highly infectious early stages.
