CRANFORD, N.J. — The Star Ledger reports that three students at a Cranford elementary school have been infected with the hepatitis A virus.
School Superintendent Lawrence Feinsod said all students are 11 years old and are fifth graders at the Orange Avenue School. The students all became ill last week.
Local health authorities are investigating the incident.
Feinsod said they have ruled out contamination through the handling of food in the school’s cafeteria because all of the victims are from the same grade. If it was in the cafeteria the contamination would have been more widespread.
