A Washington nurse accused of infecting at least two patients with hepatitis C was arrested last week. The hospital system said it informed two patients treated in December 2017 by the nurse that they were infected with the disease while at the hospital. MultiCare Health System encouraged people who visited the emergency room between August 2017 and March 2018 to be tested. Weberg also reportedly said her exposure to hepatitis C was not strong enough for her to be able to infect other people. With treatment, an infected person should be cured of hepatitis C, the hospital said.
