Arizona Measles Outbreak: Health Officials Predict Uptick In Cases

There have been 11 confirmed so far, but officials say, "there has been significant [potential] exposure at public places."

Arizona public-health officials expect the number of confirmed measles cases linked to an Eloy immigration-detention facility to continue to grow as laboratories complete tests on possible cases and track down potential exposures at more than a dozen public places in Pinal and Maricopa counties. (Alltucker and Gonzalez, 5/31)

An outbreak of measles in Arizona may continue to spread, health officials warn. The infectious virus was first detected at a federal detention center for immigrants in Eloy, Arizona when a detainee with measles was brought in, Joe Pyritz, Pinal County public information officer told HuffPost. The virus soon spread to a detention center staffer, Pyritz said, even though the staffer had previously been vaccinated against measles. (Almendrala, 5/31)

Arizona health officials Monday announced another case of measles — bringing the total to 11 cases — and warned of more than one dozen places in Pinal and Maricopa counties where the public may have been exposed to the disease. (Gomez, 5/31)
