Hepatitis A in Austin could affect Hays County commuters

By ANDY SEVILLA

A Whataburger employee in Central Austin has been diagnosed with hepatitis A, officials now are warning store customers to contact their physician.

While the business is located at 2800 Guadalupe Street in Austin, many Hays County residents — 70 percent of Kyle and Buda’s workforce — commute to the Capital City for work and a possibility exists that those commuters may have dined at that Whataburger, the Austin/Travis County Health Services Department said.
