[A Liberal Run City]

A mumps outbreak in central Ohio has grown to more than 200
confirmed cases, public health officials said Monday.

A total of 212 cases of the contagious viral illness have been
reported, with 132 of those linked to Ohio State University.
That includes 96 students and 13 staff members.

Those infected range in age from 9 months to 70 years old, local
health agencies said. The cases span from early January to late
last week.

Mumps often starts with fever, fatigue and body aches. Those
infected are urged to stay home, cover their mouths and noses
when coughing or sneezing, and frequently wash their hands.

Officials have urged residents of the region to make sure
they've been inoculated with two doses of the measles, mumps and
rubella vaccine.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,
mumps is no longer common in the United States since routine
vaccination programs began, though outbreaks do occur. Before
the vaccination programs began, about 186,000 cases were
reported annually but have since seen a decrease of more than 99
percent, according to the CDC website.
