    EDMONTON — Alberta Health Services says customers of an Edmonton restaurant may have been exposed to a serious viral liver disease.
     
    Officials say a food handler at a Second Cup located at 8902 149 St. has hepatitis A.
     
    Dr. Christopher Sikora, medical officer of health, says the risk to the public is low.

    He also suggests people should get immunized for hepatitis A.
     
    Symptoms include tiredness, poor appetite, abdominal pain, fever, nausea and vomiting.
