    Utah health officials report two more measles cases
    By Katie McKellar - Utah News Dispatch | Jun 25, 2025

    Utah’s measles case count is now up to three, after state health officials on Tuesday reported two more Utahns have been diagnosed with the highly contagious virus.

    Like the state’s first case reported last week, the two additional people who have been infected are adults and unvaccinated, according to a news release issued by the Utah Department of Health and Human services.

    The two additional adults are not linked to each other or the first person who was diagnosed with measles on Friday. They are from different parts of the state, health officials said. One is a Utah County resident, while the other is from the state’s southwest health district.

    “Public health investigations are ongoing to identify any locations where possible exposures may have occurred,” state health officials said.

    Utahns can monitor the state’s measles case count and find more information about Utah’s response to outbreaks on the state’s website, epi.utah.gov/measles-response/.

    As of Tuesday afternoon, the state listed only two potential “exposure locations” and times related to the state’s first confirmed case: Parkway Health Center in Orem, 154 W. 1300 South, from June 13 at 12:30 p.m. to 3 p.m., and Timpanogos Regional Emergency Room in Orem, 750 W. 800 North, from June 14 at 2 p.m. to 9 p.m.​..

    SALT LAKE CITY — State health officials have confirmed two additional measles cases in Utah, bringing the total number of cases to five. The two new cases involved unvaccinated patients who were linked to previously diagnosed individuals.

    One of the newly identified positive cases is in a minor, while the other is an adult. Public health investigations are now underway to identify any locations where possible exposures may have occurred.

    Currently, two of the five people diagnosed have been hospitalized due to complications. Though the hospitalizations were temporary and both are now released from the hospital.​

    Utah health officials say two of the cases are in unvaccinated women who are pregnant. Measles during pregnancy is very risky, with the pregnancies being at a higher risk of miscarriage, stillbirth, or giving birth to a child who will experience serious medical problems. Pregnant women are also more likely to be hospitalized because of the measles...

                  MIDWAY, Utah — More than 2,000 people may have been exposed to the measles virus at a recent high school athletic event in Midway, according to the Utah Department of Health and Human Services.
