Wisconsin infant dies in measles outbreak near Iowa border

An infant has died in connection to an ongoing measles outbreak in southwest Wisconsin on the Iowa-Wisconsin state border. The Wisconsin Department of Health Services reported the death in a press release on Thursday. It is the first measles-related death in the state since 1990. Wisconsin health officials said the death was related to an ongoing outbreak in four southwest Wisconsin counties, two of which border Iowa. Wisconsin’s Vernon County border is north of Lansing and Wisconsin’s Grant County border is between Marquette and Dubuque. As of Tuesday, 362 measles cases have been confirmed in the four Wisconsin counties. Minnesota also has reported a recent surge in measles cases. There have been 139 cases reported in the state, 122 of which were identified since mid-September. All other states surrounding Iowa have reported fewer than 30 measles cases in 2026 so far. The Iowa Department of Health and Human Services referenced the Wisconsin outbreak in a news release on Wednesday. Health officials said in the release that Iowa’s case count could rise too given high measles activity nearby. There have been 50 measles cases confirmed in Iowa in 2026 so far. While no vaccinations can provide total immunity, people who are

As Wisconsin hunters head into the field, know the warning signs of heart attack and stroke

MADISON - Weather conditions, physical exertion and time spent in remote areas are among the conditions that make hunting season rewarding, yet these same factors can make a medical emergency more dangerous when every minute matters. Understanding the warning signs of heart attack and stroke and knowing how to respond can help hunters act quickly if symptoms occur, according to the American Heart Association. As hunters across Wisconsin prepare for the season, planning should include more than equipment and safety gear. Understanding personal health risks and knowing how to get help can be just as important when spending long hours outdoors. In rural settings where EMS responses can be delayed and minutes matter, it’s important for hunters to be ready to respond in a cardiac or stroke emergency. Few recreational activities combine strenuous exertion, changing weather conditions and distance from medical care the way hunting can. For people who are not accustomed to that level of physical activity, those conditions may place additional strain on the heart. Cold temperatures can cause blood vessels to narrow, which may raise blood pressure and make the heart work harder, while sudden or vigorous activity can add to that strain. “You don't have to

Regulators cut WPS profit margin, approve small electric rate increase

This story was updated to include new information and because a previous version included an inaccuracy. State regulators approved a smaller increase to electric rates than Wisconsin Public Service Corp. originally requested, a move consumer advocates called a "win" for residential customers struggling to afford basic necessities. WPS, a subsidiary of WEC Energy Group , requested to increase electric rates 14% by 2028 – 9.6% in 2027 and 4% in 2028 – which would add about $16 to the average residential customer bill. The utility's request would have generated $136.9 million in new revenue and set WPS' return on equity, or profit margin, at 9.9%. Instead, the Wisconsin Public Service Commission on Nov. 5 reduced the utility's return on equity, or profit margin, from the current 9.8% to 9.5% and rejected changes to its capital structure that would have increased the costs ratepayers shoulder. The utility also applied to increase the average customer's gas bill by about $7 in 2027. Commissioners modified WPS' natural gas request and the company's preliminary estimate is that the typical customer's monthly bill will increase by $1 or less. WPS on Nov. 6 said preliminary estimates based on the commission's final decision would increase electric

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. The state's measles dashboard on Friday, Nov. 6, showed a lower total because it had not yet accounted for the 10 cases detected in Sauk County. That county's health department issued a news release Friday confirming the new infections. At least nine people have been hospitalized, and an infant in Grant County has died from measles , the state's first fatality from the disease since 1990. All but three cases have been in people who did not receive the measles vaccine, which is 97% effective at preventing
