The number of measles cases reported in the U.S. in a single week has topped 90 for the first time since a record wave in 2019, according to figures published Friday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Ninety-one cases of measles were reported during the week of March 23, with Arkansas, Hawaii and Indiana joining the list of two dozen states with confirmed measles cases.
During the week of March 30, 81 cases were reported, and another 21 cases were reported the following week. But those figures are expected to rise as more cases are confirmed.
