PARIS, IL. (ECWd) -

According to recent tips, and an article by WTHI (here), Edgar County has been included in the "Hepatitis A outbreak" in Illinois.

Tips to our hotline pointed to cases of Hep-A at the Edgar County Jail, which we have already submitted a FOIA request to for more information, and WTHI reported that according to the Edgar County Health Department, four cases have been reported in Edgar County.

We will update this article as we receive additional information.
