Two people have died from measles, the first measles-related deaths in a state in 35 years. Both individuals were unvaccinated and from the same county. The state's health department confirmed the deaths but is not releasing further information about them.

The department also reported 393 confirmed cases of measles so far this year. The health secretary expressed sympathy for the loved ones of the deceased, noting that many people are not familiar with the disease due to its largely eliminated status in the past. For more information about the deaths and the measles outbreak, further details are available from the state's health department.
