Health officials in Minnesota are asking parents to keep an eye out for signs of hepatitis in their kids as the number of children who have experienced the severe liver disease increases across the country.

She joined host Cathy Wurzer to talk more about the increase in hepatitis cases and what parents can do to keep their children safe.
