KENTUCKY (WKYT) – Officials with the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services announced four new measles cases were reported in the state this week.
Three cases are part of the same household in Woodford County.
The fourth case, involving someone known to have been exposed to measles while traveling internationally, is in Todd County and unrelated to the other three cases, according to health officials.
Health officials are working to identify others who may have been exposed to those infected while they were contagious.
None of the four were vaccinated against measles.
These new cases bring the total number of measles cases reported in Kentucky this year to six.
Kentucky’s first confirmed measles case of 2025 occurred in an adult Franklin County resident in February. The second case involved a child who was not a U.S. resident traveling through the Commonwealth in March.
