Measles outbreak prompts Mexico to issue travel warning for Texas

The Mexican government this week issued a travel advisory warning its citizens that they face a “moderate risk” of contracting measles if they travel to Texas during the current outbreak. The warning comes as the number of measles cases in Texas jumped to 158 over the weekend, Texas Health Commissioner Dr. Jennifer Shuford told lawmakers in Austin on Monday, according to NBC DFW. The highly contagious and potentially deadly disease has mostly affected unvaccinated people.
