Measles outbreak grows bigger in rural Texas, and officials expect more cases​


At least 58 new cases of measles have been reported across northwest Texas in recent weeks, state health officials said Tuesday, in a "highly contagious" outbreak that might be linked to lack of vaccination.

In the last three weeks, nine cases have come from Terry County, two from Yoakum County and one each from Lubbock and Lynn Counties, according to the state.

Most of the infections are in school-age kids, and 13 have been hospitalized.

More cases are expected.

Any that are here illegally should be deported.
