Measles cases are on the rise. The Georgia Department of Public Health has confirmed additional cases, all of which are linked to a previous infection. These individuals were in close contact with the initially infected person.

The health department has tied the outbreak to a childcare facility, where the infected children were not fully protected against the disease. Efforts are underway to identify and alert those who may have been exposed.
