The measles outbreak has now surpassed 700 reported cases in the U.S., raising the pressure on Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to rein in the deadly virus.
Overall, 712 cases have been reported with new cases being discovered in Kansas, Ohio and Indiana, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The outbreak has now spread to 25 states, per the data.
The uptick comes after Kennedy suggested earlier this week at a White House Cabinet meeting that cases were plateauing.
The New York Times has a great interactive explainer of how to stop an outbreak of a contagious disease.
