Comment on Multiple cases of viral meningitis identified in Utah County

The Utah County Health Department is investigating several cases of viral meningitis involving Lone Peak High School Students, according to a department announcement on Friday. The cases include “less than 10” students, department spokeswoman Aislynn Tolman-Hill said, and are unlikely to require action by school administrators to suspend classes. “Since this is viral, as opposed to bacterial, that’s one of the reasons we say an outbreak is unlikely,” she said.
