Résumé

Three claims regarding individuals with measles passing through Philadelphia International Airport on specific dates in September 2026 were partially confirmed, verifying the main events but with some details unconfirmed. The claim that on September 21, 2026, a person with measles passed through the airport as a second potential exposure unrelated to a recent case at a local children's hospital was partially confirmed. The warning issued by the Philadelphia Department of Public Health on September 19, 2026, about a person with measles being present in several airport terminals was partially confirmed. The assertion that on September 20, 2026, a person with measles passed through terminals B, F, and connecting areas was also partially confirmed. The claim that the United States recorded 3,659 measles cases across 47 jurisdictions on September 26, 2026, lacked sufficient evidence.
