300 people diagnosed with mumps in New York
More than 300 people have been diagnosed with the mumps in suburban New York as America's largest outbreak of the disease in years spreads. Almost all the cases are among Orthodox Jews.
A health official says 303 people in the Rockland County towns of Monsey and New Square have been diagnosed with the highly infectious disease. Investigators say the outbreak started in August 2009 at a Jewish summer camp in Sullivan County with an 11-year-old boy who brought the disease from England. (AP)
