As of February 13, 2026, Mexico has accumulated a total of 9,478 confirmed cases of measles, accompanied by 24,913 probable cases and 29 associated deaths, according to the Daily Measles Outbreak Report from the General Directorate of Epidemiology (DGE) of the Ministry of Health. The confirmed deaths are distributed across various states, with Chihuahua reporting the highest number at 21, followed by Jalisco with two, and one death each in Mexico City, Sonora, Durango, Michoacán, Tlaxcala, and Chiapas. These fatalities have been directly linked to the measles virus by a panel of experts.

The latest report indicates a net increase of 127 confirmed cases within a 24-hour period from the previous day, highlighting the ongoing active transmission of the virus across different regions of Mexico. This increment signifies that despite health efforts, the outbreak continues to persist, raising concerns among health officials who are stressing the importance of vaccination.

In context, the resurgence of measles cases reflects broader public health challenges faced by Mexico, including vaccine hesitancy and accessibility issues. Officials are urging communities to increase vigilance and vaccination rates to curb the spread of the virus and prevent further fatalities, as the implications of persistent outbreaks can exacerbate public health systems already strained by other health crises.
