One of the most contagious diseases that was previously eradicated more than 20 years ago in the U.S. is threatening a comeback — measles.
As measles cases continue to rise globally, more states are also reporting the disease. On Feb. 12, that number hit 10. The Minnesota Department of Health confirmed two cases of measles in unvaccinated siblings who recently returned from international travel. Arizona’s Maricopa County Department of Public Health also confirmed an international visitor with measles who frequented two public restaurants while contagious.
