— By staff of The Dominion Post

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Fan Day with the Mountaineer football team set for 12:30 p.m. today will be postponed and rescheduled if a later date becomes available.

Five cases of Hand, Foot and Mouth disease have been identified within the program. Hand, foot and mouth is a mild but highly contagious viral infection that is very common among children but can spread to adults. The virus usually goes away on its own in a period of less than a week, and there is no specific treatment, just steps to ease the symptoms.
