Chicago authorities have identified two cases of measles as of Friday, one city resident and a migrant child at a shelter, the first cases reported in Chicago since 2019. In the case of the city resident, the source of infection was unknown and the person was “recovering well at home,” the Chicago Department of Public Health said Thursday, adding that their infectious period ended on March 6.
Alderman Byron Sigcho-Lopez, of the 25th Ward in Chicago, said in a statement that the population of the migrant shelter was 1,876 people this week, including 95 toddlers between the ages of 1 and 2. That number is down from a population of 2,550 last year, he said. As for the case diagnosed in the city resident, the department said it identified no recent travel outside of the city, but the person reported interactions with domestic and international travelers.
