The number of Exeter Hospital employees who had been asked to be tested for Hepatitis C has been reduced by state officials. Initially, around 500 employees and affiliated clinicians were asked to be tested by the NH Division of Public Health Services, but now that number has dropped below 100. That reduction is the result of new information received through patient testing. A total of 32 former Exeter Hospital patients have been diagnosed with Hep-C since the investigation began in May.
