Trump meets Zelenskiy, says Putin wants war to end, mulls trilateral talks
Investing.com -- Texas has reported 13 fresh measles cases on Tuesday, according to the Texas Department of State Health Services. This comes amidst a growing outbreak in the South Plains region of the state, prompting the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to dispatch a team of epidemiologists and doctors to aid in managing the situation.
Since late January, the South Plains region has identified 159 cases of measles. Among these patients, 22 have needed hospitalization. The outbreak has also resulted in one fatality, a school-aged child living within the outbreak area who had not been vaccinated and had no known underlying health conditions.
Given the highly infectious nature of measles, the Texas Department of State Health Services anticipates additional cases in the outbreak area and its surrounding communities. The department is collaborating with local health departments to investigate the outbreak.
