🚨 METRO ATLANTA PARENTS, CHECK THOSE BABIES!
On Friday, August 28, the Georgia Department of Public Health confirmed 4 MORE children have measles in an outbreak associated with a metro Atlanta daycare.
Health officials say the four children were close contacts of the measles case confirmed on August 18 and were either unvaccinated or not fully vaccinated. Georgia has now reported 11 measles cases in 2026.
And here’s the part that has parents asking questions: officials have NOT publicly identified the daycare or released its location. 👀 DPH says it is working to identify additional people who may have had close contact with the infected children.
⚠️ WHAT PARENTS SHOULD LOOK FOR:
🤒 High fever
😷 Cough
👃🏾 Runny nose
👀 Red/watery eyes
🔴 Tiny red spots that begin on the head and spread down the body
Symptoms typically show up 7–14 DAYS after exposure. Measles is so contagious that the virus can remain in the air or on surfaces for up to 2 HOURS after an infected person leaves.
DPH says if your child develops possible symptoms, CALL your healthcare provider first — do not just walk into a doctor’s office, hospital or health clinic because precautions need to be taken to prevent exposing others.
