The measles count at Fort McCoy is now up to nine cases.
Fort spokesperson Cheryl Phillips confirmed the cases yesterday, but said none of them is active. Phillips first reported the new measles cases last week, but no one is saying just when the two latest Afghans were diagnosed. Phillips says everyone who’s been diagnosed with the measles is being kept in quarantine. Doctors say nearly 97-percent of the nearly 13-thousand Afghans are vaccinated for the measles and the coronavirus.
