The measles outbreak centered in northwest Texas appeared to slow on Friday, as health officials reported just seven new cases since earlier this week. The latest update from the Texas Department of State Health Services shows the state has seen 709 measles cases since the outbreak began spreading in late January.

More than 700 cases of measles have been confirmed in an outbreak across Texas, state health officials reported Tuesday, as other outbreaks of the highly contagious illness spread across dozens of other states.

The measles outbreak has grown to nearly 800 cases across three states, but none of the Dallas-Fort Worth area cases have been linked to the outbreak.
