DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) – The University of Dayton has confirmed that two students had contracted mumps in recent weeks, but are no longer contagious. Testing is being done on two suspected cases and those test results should take about a week.

The University also has notified the health department.

Students who suspect they might have mumps should contact the Student Health Center to be evaluated.

If mumps is suspected, those students will be asked to isolate themselves for five days.

Mumps is an airborne virus, so we encourage everyone to frequently wash their hands, cover coughs and sneezes, and discourage sharing cups and utensils. Treatment is to provide relief for the symptoms, which should disappear in about a week.
