The United States .. 700 measles injuries in 6 states

The incidence of measles recorded in the United States exceeded 700 cases in 6 American states, and at the end of the week, Indiana joined five other states witnessing an active outbreak, and the cases in Texas increased by 60 cases, and a third death linked to measles was announced.

Health Minister Robert Kennedy said at a government meeting broadcast on television last Thursday that measles cases are high at the national level, but the virus is still spreading mostly in people who did not receive vaccination and that the American centers to combat and prevent them have republished a team in West Texas.

The United States has already recorded measles this year more than twice the number of cases that were recorded during the entire 2024, and Texas has recorded most of these cases, as 541 cases were recorded.

Texas infection includes two primary school children who were not vaccinated and provided due to measles -related diseases near the center of the disease in the West Texas rural area, which prompted Kennedy to visit the area on Sunday.

The third person who died an adult in New Mexico was not receiving the vaccination either.

Other states that are witnessing the disease, which is known as three or more cases of New Mexico, Indiana, Kanas, Ouhayu and Akllahoma, include.

It is reported that measles is caused by a highly infected virus that is transmitted across the air and spreads easily when the affected person breathes, sneezes or coups. Measles can be prevented through vaccines, and it was believed to have been eliminated in the United States since 2000.
