Hepatitis A is a liver infection caused by a virus, the health authority explained, and is most commonly spread through the consumption of contaminated food or water, or from close contact with an individual carrying the virus.
The exposure was linked to a confirmed case in an employee at the Saskatoon Club.
“The period of potential exposure for customers and staff of this establishment is February 25 to March 18, 2026,” the health authority said in its statement on May 7.
As of Monday, the health authority said in an email it had not received any further reports of the infection.
The Saskatoon Club is currently open and operating. Earlier in the week, a representative declined to provide any comment on how the club has responded to the exposure risk.
On Thursday, after receiving the updated information from the health authority, 650 CKOM reached out with a new request for comment.
