New measles cases reported in Spartanburg County, South Carolina, amid outbreak

WYFF The South Carolina Department of Public Health (DPH) is adding four new confirmed cases of measles in Spartanburg County since Friday, bringing the total number of cases in South Carolina this year to 23 and the number of cases in the current outbreak to 20.

Two of the cases were among close contacts to known cases who have been quarantining at home, and none were present in any school settings while contagious. Because they were quarantining before they became infectious, no additional exposures have occurred with these new cases. The two other cases were associated with a business in Spartanburg with no public exposures.
