San Diego County health officials have confirmed an outbreak of mumps at San Diego State University, prompting coordinated response efforts with campus leadership.
The County Public Health Services is working directly with university administrators to ensure the campus community receives timely notifications about the outbreak.
Mumps is a contagious viral illness that typically causes swelling of the salivary glands and can spread through respiratory droplets. Outbreaks on college campuses are not uncommon due to the close living quarters and social interaction among students.
Health officials have not yet released details about the number of confirmed cases or specific measures being implemented to contain the spread of the illness.
