Chihuahua Health authorities are maintaining epidemiological surveillance and recommending that the population get vaccinated against measles.

The Chihuahua Health Secretariat confirmed the first case of measles in Ciudad Juárez, bringing the total to 130 positive cases across the state, all imported from the United States.

The new case, according to health authorities, is that of an infected girl. The girl had contact with at least 300 people, and therefore a health cordon was activated to identify further infections of the disease, which has already spread to 11 of the state's 67 municipalities.

Rogelio Covarrubias, director of the health jurisdiction in Ciudad Juárez, spoke about the situation:

This is the case of a one-year-and-eleven-month-old girl who was diagnosed on March 23rd. After an exhaustive study, it was determined that the child had approximately 250 or 300 contacts.

Furthermore, the head of the health jurisdiction in Ciudad Juárez reviewed the infections in the state and noted that "we currently have 130 cases, 130 cases in different locations."

Authorities urge the population to get vaccinated against measles.

Ortiz Arballo mentioned that the staff is identifying all the people the patient lived with in the last 8 days, to monitor them for 21 days, which is the incubation period for the virus, but they have not found any new suspected cases.
