The number of cases tied to the months-long measles outbreak in Texas has not increased in three weeks, and a spokesman for the Department of State Health Services said, "It appears the height of the measles outbreak is behind us."

There are no new confirmed measles cases to report in Texas this week, according to the state, but Austin's health department has detected the measles virus in wastewater.

A new county has joined the outbreak list this week. The Department of State Health Services confirmed four outbreak-linked cases in Fannin County. Fannin is next door to Lamar County, where the state confirmed five new measles cases this week.

The Texas Department of State Health Services has reported no new measles cases linked to the West Texas outbreak this week.

Three new cases were added to the total this week. This brings the total number of infections linked to this measles outbreak to 753.

There were no new measles outbreak cases to report in Texas in the last week, and the number of counties on the Texas active outbreak list has dropped to two.

Texas added seven new confirmed measles cases linked to the outbreak total this week.

The state health department is reporting 744 confirmed cases of measles linked to the West Texas outbreak since January. That is the same number it reported on Tuesday.

The cases were in El Paso and Midland counties.
