Chi-chi's Hepatitis A Litigation

Pennsylvania State health officials first learned of a potential HAV outbreak from emergency room doctors in Beaver County, who reported an unusually high number of hepatitis A cases in late October, 2003. Investigators from the health department began investigating the people who had fallen ill, and determined that the common thread for all was having eaten at the Chi Chi's restaurant at the Beaver Valley Mall. Once the department isolated the restaurant as the probable source of the outbreak, Chi Chi's closed the restaurant voluntarily and it remained closed for a number of weeks.

Ouch!

You are in charge of Food Safety at Chi-chi's, what would you have done to prevent it?
