WASHINGTON, 7th June, 2025 (WAM) -- The United States recorded 122 new measles cases this week, with only four reported in Texas. Health authorities have officially declared the end of measles outbreaks in the states of Michigan and Pennsylvania.

According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the total number of confirmed measles cases in the country now stands at 1,168. Officials in Texas, which experienced the country's largest outbreak during late winter and spring, announced they will begin reporting case numbers weekly-a further indication that the outbreak is subsiding.
