The Montgomery County Department of Public Health on Friday released the name of the Italian restaurant possibly linked to a deadly Hepatitis A outbreak. Gino's Ristorante & Pizzeria in West Norriton will be closed until further notice while the investigation continues, officials said.

Health officials said 11 total cases are under investigation, with nine confirmed cases of Hepatitis A and two potential cases. Of the nine confirmed cases, seven people were hospitalized. To date, one death is confirmed and one additional death is under investigation.

The front window of Gino's now has a yellow sign that states the establishment is closed by the Montgomery County Department of Health. The Pennsylvania Department of Health provided this information on hepatitis A: "Hepatitis A is a highly contagious, vaccine-preventable, liver infection caused by the hepatitis A virus (HAV) ranging in severity from mild infection lasting a few weeks to severe disease lasting several months. Hepatitis A usually spreads when a person unknowingly ingests the virus from objects, food, or drinks contaminated by small, undetected amounts of stool from an infected person. Hepatitis A can also spread from close personal contact with an infected person such as through s*x or caring for someone who is ill."
