Maricopa County officials are warning residents about measles exposure at 10 different sites in Mesa as three cases bring the yearly tally up to 13.

"Public notifications are issued when exposed individuals cannot be identified, so people who may have been in a public setting at the same time as an infectious person can learn of their potential exposure and take protective steps," read a May 6 statement from the Maricopa County Department of Public Health.

Some of the sites linked to the three newest cases include a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints house of worship, a Target and a Chick-fil-A. The public health department provided an online list of public exposure sites.

Those who were at the listed sites of exposure, the public health department said, have between May 10 and 24 to check for symptoms, which would include a high fever, red, watery eyes, a runny nose and a red, raised and blotchy rash...

Measles continues to spread in Arizona. Confirmed cases increased in June
KJZZ | By Katherine Davis-Young
Published July 15, 2026 at 4:28 PM MST​

After several months of declining measles cases in Arizona, the state reported a slight increase in transmission in June.

Measles has been spreading in Arizona since August 2025. According to the Arizona Department of Health Services, monthly case counts reached a peak in December, when the state confirmed 54 cases. Case counts fell each month through May, when the state reported only six cases. But the tally increased again in June, when nine cases were confirmed.

Of the 332 cases reported in the state throughout 2025 and 2026, the majority — 285 cases — have been in Mohave County. That outbreak has ended. Mohave County has now gone more than two months without any new cases.

But the extremely contagious virus is still appearing in other parts of the state.

Pinal and Maricopa counties confirmed new cases this week. And Yavapai County on Wednesday confirmed its first measles case of 2026. Yavapai County health officials are also warning of recent potential public measles exposures at sites throughout the Prescott area.​..
