The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS), City of Milwaukee Health Department (MHD), and Walworth County Department of Health and Human Services are jointly investigating a case of measles confirmed in a person who traveled through Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport to Walworth County.
The case is linked to a confirmed case in another state, and comes as the DHS Wisconsin Wastewater Monitoring Program also detected measles in untreated wastewater collected in Walworth County. This is the first detection of measles in wastewater in Wisconsin.
The case was exposed to measles out of state and is not linked to current confirmed cases in Waukesha County and Dane County. Due to privacy concerns, no additional personal identifying or health information will be released by DHS.
