Letter from Toronto Public Health Dr. Vinita Dubey, Associate Medical Officer of Health, Toronto Public Health (TPH) has asked that schools share the information below with their communities. Toronto Public Health is investigating a mumps outbreak in the city. The mumps virus is found in saliva, and is spread through coughing, sneezing, kissing, and sharing drinks, utensils, food or water bottles. The risk in Toronto schools is low because most schools have high vaccination rates. However, a case has been identified at a Toronto school. Please check the Toronto Health webpage to review a letter that contains information regarding general precautions. If you have any questions, please contact TPH's "Health Connection" at (416) 338-7600 from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM on business days. Have a safe and restful break!
