Child in Maine tests positive for measles, first case in state since 2019


A child in Maine has tested positive for measles, officials said, marking the first case in the state since 2019.

The child who tested positive had received a dose of the measles vaccine, but the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention said in a news release Friday that it “is considering the child to be infectious out of an abundance of caution.”
