Measles detected in three new counties: Columbia, Green Lake and Sauk

Measles has been detected in three new Wisconsin counties, as one of the worst outbreaks in the nation shows no sign of stopping. Columbia County in central Wisconsin reported 33 cases of measles; neighboring Green Lake County has confirmed five cases ; and Sauk County, northwest of Madison, has reported 10 cases, all of which were linked to other infections in Wisconsin, according to news releases from the county health departments and data from the state health department. Wisconsin is now reporting 487 cases of measles across 16 counties, the most recorded by the state in over 35 years, according to data from the state Department of Health Services and local health departments.

All but three cases have been in people who did not receive the measles vaccine, which is 97% effective at preventing
