                            Mumps case confirmed at school in Waikoloa
                            Published November 30, 2017 - 12:06am

                            The state Department of Education announced the confirmation in a Nov. 17 letter to parents, guardians, faculty and staff. The DOE said it cannot identify whether the individual is a student or employee, citing privacy laws, but said the department is working with the state Department of Health?s Immunization Branch to prevent the spread of the virus.

                            The confirmation comes amid an outbreak of the mumps throughout the state, including cases previously found in schools in Ka?u and Hilo.

                            Cases have been confirmed in children and adults, vaccinated and unvaccinated, according to the Health Department. Nearly three-fifths of the cases have been in adults.

                            The DOH confirmed 602 cases of mumps, with 66 cases in Hawaii County, so far in 2017.

                            The confirmation of a case of mumps at the Waikoloa school led the DOE to exclude from school anybody who came within close contact of the person confirmed to have the virus, as required by state law...
