Workers at the Fasi Municipal Building are being asked to take precautions after someone there was confirmed to have mumps.
The individual worked at least one day during the infectious period, city Managing Director Roy Amemiya told employees in a memorandum today. The city is not disclosing the person’s identity due to privacy laws.
However, “we are addressing this as a universal precaution and are advising everyone to be alert to this situation,” Amemiya said.
Anyone experiencing symptoms associated with mumps is asked to consult their health care provider. Symptoms for mumps, a contagious disease caused by a virus, include fever, headache, muscle aches, tiredness, loss of appetite and swollen and tender salivary glands in front of the ears or on one or both sides of the jaw.
