The Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH) is reporting two additional probable measles cases in the state, with possible public exposure sites in Owasso and Claremore.

OSDH reported the state’s first probable measles cases March 11. An OSDH spokesperson told StateImpact at the time the agency wasn’t releasing the geographic details of these cases because they “don’t pose a public health risk and to protect patient privacy.”

All four cases occurred among unvaccinated individuals and were associated with the Texas and New Mexico outbreak, which has so far infected nearly 300 people.

OSDH said in a press release it “immediately began its investigation” upon receiving notification of the two new cases March 14. It said their initial exposure was not from the two cases announced March 11.

The virus can linger in the air for about two hours after an infected individual has left the room. Potential measles exposure locations include:

Kohl's, 12405 E. 96th St. N., Owasso: 1:30 - 5:30 p.m., Feb. 27
Aldi, 9259 N. Owasso Expressway, Owasso: 4:20 - 7 p.m., Feb. 27

Published March 25, 2025 at 3:21 PM CDT​

Oklahoma is reporting five new measles cases, with seven confirmed and two probable cases total as of Tuesday. The State Department of Health (OSDH) reports these cases are among unvaccinated individuals in northeastern Oklahoma.

A probable measles case shows symptoms consistent with the national standard surveillance definition and lacks a confirmatory test result or a link to a laboratory-confirmed case. A confirmed case shows symptoms consistent with the national standard surveillance definition and has a confirmatory test result or a link to a laboratory-confirmed case.

OSDH said in a press release that two of the four previously reported probable cases have been updated to confirmed cases because they were linked to a close contact who had confirmatory measles testing.

The agency said investigations into the five new cases found no additional public setting exposures. OSDH said no cases have resulted from exposure to public settings at this time.

“Public exposures have been limited due to most of these individuals recognizing their exposure and excluding themselves from public settings,” the release states...
