Officials have identified 28 cases of mumps in Johnson County, mostly in school-age children in Cleburne and Keene, said Dr. Elvin Adams.

The state hasn’t had more than 20 cases of the virus since 2011.

“It’s really unusual,” said Adams, who works with the Texas Department of State Health Services. “We’re having more than a year’s worth of cases in one community.”

Of the 28 cases, 19 are in Keene, eight in Cleburne and one in Alvarado. Children and youths ages 5 to 18 account for 23 of the cases, Adams said.
