Oklahoma measles update: 9 measles cases in the state, with 7 confirmed

The Oklahoma State Department of Health has released a situation update on measles cases in the state.

As of Tuesday, March 25, there are 9 cases in Oklahoma, with seven confirmed and two more deemed "probable" among unvaccinated people in northeastern Oklahoma.

Two cases that were previously reported as probable have been upgraded to confirmed.

The OSDH said confirmed cases show symptoms consistent with the standard definition of measles, and they have a confirmatory test result.

The probable cases lack a confirmatory test result, or like to a lab-confirmed case, according to the OSDH.

It was determined that no cases were through public exposure.

The OSDH said it works alongside the Cherokee Nation, the health care community and the Tulsa Health Department on these cases.
