Measles cases have surpassed a recent 2019 record to reach the highest level since 1992, with at least 1,289 cases reported in 39 states.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says the U.S. is currently experiencing its worst measles outbreak in more than 30 years, according to the Associated Press. On Wednesday, the CDC said the 2025 case count has surpassed the 2019 count, when there were 1,274 cases for the year.

The Illinois Department of Public Health has reported 10 measles cases in the state so far this year. There were 67 cases last year.

The Texas Department of State Health Services has reported no new measles cases linked to the West Texas outbreak this week.

Gaines County, where Texas' massive measles outbreak began in January, no longer has ongoing measles transmission, according to state health officials.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention count, updated Wednesday, is 14 more cases than in all of 2019, when the U.S. almost lost its status of having eliminated measles. There've been three deaths in the U.S. this year, and all were unvaccinated: two elementary school-aged children in West Texas and an adult in New Mexico.

Measles cases in the United States have soared to levels unseen since the disease was declared eliminated 25 years ago. CNN reports the US has logged at least 1,277 confirmed measles cases so far in 2025,
