Georgia health officials confirm eight measles cases at Atlanta daycare
The Georgia Department of Public Health confirmed three additional measles infections among children at a metro Atlanta daycare, raising the number of cases linked to the facility to eight and urging parents to vaccinate and seek medical care. Earlier in the outbreak, state health officials reported four new measles cases, all close contacts of a previously identified patient, and stepped up contact tracing and vaccination outreach at the daycare. The Georgia outbreak is part of a broader increase in measles cases this year, with officials in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin also documenting rising numbers.
