Description

Oregon has confirmed five measles cases so far this year, but health officials say the virus is likely circulating more widely than those numbers suggest. That’s because measles has already been detected in wastewater in multiple parts of the state. An undated photo from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows the skin of a patient after three days with measles rash.

Oregon has confirmed five measles cases so far this year — enough to meet the state’s definition of an outbreak.
