Outbreaks of measles have been declared in both Texas and New Mexico, as health officials report that nearly 100 cases have been identified across the two states. The Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) has reported that as of February 21, 90 cases of measles have been identified in the South Plains region since late January, with 16 of these people having been hospitalized with the illness. According to the DSHS, the number of cases is likely to increase, “due to the highly contagious nature of this disease.”
