Three close contacts of an earlier measles case in Macon County have tested positive, bringing Georgia’s 2026 total to 28, the Georgia Department of Public Health said.
The earlier case had no known travel history and had contact with a confirmed case from Pennsylvania, according to DPH. The department has not said whether the three newly positive contacts were vaccinated.
Georgia reported 10 measles cases in 2025. DPH advises people with measles symptoms to call their health care provider immediately and call ahead before going to a medical facility. Providers who suspect measles should notify DPH immediately.
