The Wisconsin Department of Health Services has launched a dashboard to share updates on measles cases in Wisconsin. The dashboard will be updated twice a week, on Tuesdays and Fridays at 2:00 p.m. Data on the dashboard includes case counts, vaccination status, hospitalizations, and deaths. Additional information about the public health investigation can be found on the DHS Outbreaks and Investigations webpage. The dashboard currently shows 24 cases, all in Oconto County. Two of those cases resulted in hospitalization. The health agency says that more than half of the cases were in children aged five to 17.
DHS will continue to issue information about measles as the situation warrants, for example, if there is a significant public exposure to the virus or if a new outbreak is confirmed. Local health departments may provide communications to the media in their area, focusing primarily on locations of public exposure.
