One of the employees at Wolfgang Puck Catering is diagnosed with hepatitis A and could possibly have exposed the virus to several celebrities, including models at a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue party.
Officials said that the risk of getting the virus was low, but anyone who ate raw food has been asked to get a preventive shot today. Some of the guests at this party include Duff McKagan, Ken Davitian, Beyonce Knowles and a bunch of Sports Illustrated models.
This virus can be spread through contaminated water and food, however, the virus is very rarely fatal. The president of Wolfgang Puck Catering put the employee on medical leave and told reporters that they “immediately worked to take every precaution to further safeguard our patrons and other employees.”
Sports Illustrated said they are taking this situation very seriously and they said, “We are alerting our guests and staff as quickly as possible to ensure they receive the relevant health warnings.” According to officials no of the Puck’s restaurants were affected, nor were any of the parties after February 20, which includes the post Oscars Governors Ball.
