Two school-aged children in Washington County are the latest in Utah to have tested positive for measles, health officials announced Monday.
The Southwest Utah Public Health Department did not announce the ages of the children who have been infected with measles, but parents of all students at Water Canyon Elementary School and Water Canyon High School, where the children attend, have been notified of the exposure.
Neither child was vaccinated, according to the Utah Department of Health and Human Services’ Measles Dashboard.
The health department has told parents of students at the schools that no quarantine is necessary if their own children have received two documented doses of the measles vaccine.
As of Monday, the total number of measles cases in Utah stands at 13.
