Taiwan records first measles cluster of the year
Posted on 2026-02-28 11:07:13
Taiwan has recorded its first measles cases of the year.

The CDC said that two cases of measles have been diagnosed, including a
40-year-old man in New Taipei City who came into contact with an
eight-month-old boy who was infected in Vietnam while visiting family in late
January.

Measles is a highly contagious respiratory disease. Its early symptoms
resemble a common cold, including cough, runny nose, and fever -- followed by
a red rash. The CDC says the rashes typically appear about two weeks after
infection.

The New Taipei City Department of Health has released the man's activity
history during the contagious period and listed 526 contacts, including five
living with him.

The CDC says anyone suspected of infection should wear a mask and contact the
health department for treatment options.
