In June, 21 (81%) of 26 cases were outbreak-associated. 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 June, 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.
