Measles cases in Broward County and a travel-related case in Central Florida have been reported to the Florida Department of Health (Department). Because measles is highly contagious, the Department is providing the linked information to health care providers regarding the identification, testing, and management of suspected cases.

Suspected measles cases are required to be reported immediately to your local county health department or the Department's Bureau of Epidemiology to ensure prompt response and public health efforts (section 381.0031, Florida Statutes, and Rule 64D-3.029, Florida Administrative Code).

If you suspect measles, please call your local county health department or the Department's Bureau of Epidemiology at 850-245-4401.
