ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) - Another case of the measles was reported Wednesday in Georgia, making it six total in the state this year, according to the Georgia Department of Public Health (DPH).

Officials say the unvaccinated person is a family member of the confirmed case in May.

“The individual was quarantined at home following exposure, so there are no additional exposures outside of the home that require follow-up,” DPH said in a statement.

Two people who caught the measles in the same outbreak have fully recovered, according to DPH, who said that “monitoring has ended for individuals exposed to the index case in May.”

In 2024, there were six reported cases of measles in the state. The first this year in Georgia was reported in metro Atlanta in late January.
