Texas measles outbreak did not grow for the first time since January

On Friday, Texas health officials announced that no new measles cases were reported, marking the first occasion without additional cases since the outbreak started in late January.
This pause followed weeks of rising infections, with the state reporting 742 confirmed cases tied mainly to a West Texas outbreak.
Gaines County, which has reported 411 cases since January, remains the primary hotspot in the outbreak, while fewer than 10 individuals are currently considered infectious statewide, suggesting a decrease in transmission.
Chris Van Deusen reported that new daily cases have dropped significantly, falling from roughly 12 at the peak to less than one in recent times.
The halt in new cases suggests the outbreak is easing, but health officials continue weekly updates and urge vaccination to prevent further spread.
