Public Health Advisory: Measles Outbreak Affecting the Wider Area

# data[].attributes.subject
Public Health Advisory: Measles Outbreak Affecting the Wider Area

# data[].attributes.body
Delaware Measles Outbreak

The Delaware Division of Public Health has declared a statewide measles outbreak, with all currently confirmed positive cases identified locally in Kent County. Measles is a highly contagious virus that spreads through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes.

Who is most at risk?

Individuals who are not vaccinated against measles.

Infants under 12 months of age (who are too young for routine vaccination).

Pregnant individuals without established immunity.

People with weakened immune systems.

When do symptoms appear?

Symptoms usually develop 7–14 days after exposure but can appear up to 21 days later.

Early symptoms include:

Early symptom fever (105 °F)

Cough

Runny nose

Red, watery eyes

Red rash typically appears 3–5 days after symptoms begin, starting on the face and spreading downward to the rest of the body.

How can you protect yourself?

Ensure you are up to date on your MMR vaccine. The MMR vaccine is the safest and most effective protection against measles.

Check your immunization status.

Military, retirees, and their dependents can contact Public Health for verification.

State of Delaware residence can use DELVAX to search for immunization records. https://delvax.dhss.delaware.gov/delvax/Login.aspx

Practice good hygiene: Wash your hands frequently and cover all coughs/ sneezes.

Avoid close contact with anyone who is actively sick.

What to do if you suspect exposure or illness:

Contact healthcare authorities immediately to report it and receive instructions:

Delaware DPH Epidemiology (Business Hours): 302-744-4990 / Delaware DPH 24/7 Hotline: 888-295-5156

Emergency Care: 911

Military Health System Nurse Advice Line: 1-800-TRICARE (874-2273)

Questions/ concerns: 436 MDG Public Health 302-677-2564

If you are experiencing symptoms, DO NOT walk into the base clinic or any local medical facility. CALL AHEAD FIRST so staff can take appropriate prior to your arrival.

Public Health Advisory: Cyclosporiasis Outbreak Affecting the Wider Area

# data[].attributes.subject
Public Health Advisory: Cyclosporiasis Outbreak Affecting the Wider Area

# data[].attributes.body
What is happening:

As of July 2026, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is monitoring a growing multistate outbreak of cyclosporiasis, with over 300 cases reported across 18 states. Public health agencies are actively investigating the clusters to identify the contaminated food sources responsible for the spread

What is it:

Cyclosporiasis is an intestinal illness caused by the microscopic parasite Cyclospora cayetanensis. The parasite is transmitted through the consumption of food or water that has been contaminated with feces. It is not typically spread directly from person to person. Symptoms usually appear about one week after exposure and commonly include severe, watery diarrhea, stomach cramps, bloating, loss of appetite, nausea, and extreme fatigue

Prevention:

Since the parasite is difficult to detect on food and is unlikely to be killed by routine chemical sanitizing methods, safe food handling is your best defense:

Wash Up: Always wash your hands with soap and water after using the restroom and before preparing or eating food.

Clean Produce: Thoroughly wash all fresh fruits and vegetables under running water before consuming them, and scrub firm produce like melons or cucumbers.

Food Safety: Cut away damaged or bruised areas of produce before eating.

Refrigerate cut or prepared foods within two hours.

Avoid Contamination: Do not consume water or food if you suspect it may have been contaminated

Treatment:

While most healthy people will eventually recover without treatment, the illness can be miserable and last for weeks or even months if left unmanaged. If you experience prolonged diarrhea or signs of dehydration, please visit your healthcare provider. While most healthy people will eventually recover without treatment, the illness can be miserable and last for weeks or even months if left unmanaged. If you experience prolonged diarrhea or signs of dehydration, please visit your healthcare provider. For more severe cases, you should go to the

Emergency Room (ER). Providers must specifically request a specialized stool test to diagnose Cyclospora, as it does not show up on routine gastrointestinal panels. If confirmed, the infection is highly treatable with prescription antibiotics.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Public Health at 302-677-2564
