Students: Use judgment in attending THON in light of flu, recent mumps cases
2/14/18
With THON fast approaching, Penn State University Health Services (UHS) is recommending that anyone showing symptoms of flu or mumps not attend THON activities this weekend, Feb. 16-18, at the Bryce Jordan Center. In addition, anyone who has been in close contact with a student confirmed or suspected of having mumps is asked not to attend, even if they are not showing symptoms. People most likely to suffer from severe symptoms that may result in hospitalization are young children, older adults and anyone with compromised immune systems, such as the Four Diamonds children.
