Multiple measles outbreaks have been reported already this year, with one in Texas ballooning from six cases to 48 in just over a week.
“Due to the highly contagious nature of this disease, additional cases are likely to occur in Gaines County and the surrounding communities,” the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) said on Friday.
The majority of cases in Texas involve children under the age of 17, the Texas DSHS said. Thirteen have been hospitalized.
A teen from Lea County, New Mexico — just over the border from Gaines County, Texas — was also infected, though the patient has had no known contact with any of the Texas patients, the New Mexico Department of Health said Tuesday.
