A graph showing a bar graph of total cases compared to household associated cases and outbreak associated cases for July 2019 and the previous 3-month average.

In July, 22 (61%) of 36 cases were outbreak-associated and no cases were associated with transmission in households. For most mumps cases, exposure to other known cases is never identified, and they are not able to be linked to outbreaks.

No new mumps outbreaks were reported in July, but outbreak-associated cases from two ongoing outbreaks were reported. Investigations are still ongoing for an outbreak in a university setting and an outbreak in a detention facility setting.
