Seven adult mumps cases have been confirmed at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in northeast Houston, the city's Health Department said.
The adults were all detained during their infectious period and there is no evidence the disease was transmitted to anyone outside ICE's medium-security facility, called CoreCivic, the agency said in a news release Saturday.
"Since these individuals were isolated inside the facility during the period they were infectious, we do not anticipate these cases posing a threat to the community," said Dr. David Persse, Houston's local health authority and EMS medical director, said in the release.
One person went to the hospital for treatment and the others received treatment at the facility, KPRC-TV reported.
