A Missouri Red Robin location may have exposed up to 5,000 people to hepatitis A, officials say.

According to CNN, an employee with the infection worked at the Springfield, Mo. restaurant while contagious. That employee last worked at the restaurant on May 16, and CNN notes that it has been cleared by the Springfield-Greene County Health Department.

Though Red Robin declined to reveal which area of the restaurant the infected employee worked, they urged everyone who dined there between May 8 and 16 to consult the health department.

All employees were given an immune globulin prophylaxis shot, and the health department will set up a two-day vaccination at Remington's, a local entertainment venue.
