94% of Mizzou mumps cases treated

The University of Missouri was still seeing new cases of the mumps Wednesday.

The University’s student health center put out an update stating that since the beginning of the fall semester, there have been 265 cases identified. That’s 37 more than last week.

Despite the rising number, at least 94% of those cases were considered recovered and are no longer infectious.

Amid winter break, the student health center said, “We will continue to monitor case reports during the winter break and late January to determine the need for further measures to control the outbreak.”
