The state Department of Health says it has recorded 11 new cases of hepatitis A in Hawaii over the past week, up nearly 5 percent from last week.

This brings the total number of cases in the current outbreak to 252.

All of those sickened are adults, the department said Wednesday. Sixty-six have been hospitalized.

Health officials traced the outbreak to frozen scallops served raw by a popular sushi chain on Oahu and Kauai. U.S. Food and Drug Administration tests later found hepatitis A in the scallops, which were imported from the Philippines. The Genki Sushi chain closed 10 restaurants on Oahu and one on Kauai and began disinfecting them after the discovery.
