(Macomb, IL) — Expect the mumps count at Western Illinois University to increase. The Illinois Department of Public Health on Friday confirmed one case of the illness. WIU and IDPH officials are warning other students to be on the lookout for symptoms. Public health managers say colleges and universities are susceptible to mumps cases because of a large number of students who all live or attend class together.
