SAN DIEGO (Border Report) — Mexico has issued a warning to its citizens asking them not to travel to Texas and seven other states in the U.S. due to a measles outbreak.

In a statement issued by Mexico’s Health Secretary, it describes 106 cases of measles in the states of Alaska, California, Georgia, New Jersey, New York, New Mexico, Rhode Island and in nine counties throughout Texas.

The Texas Health Department confirmed this week the death of a child who had contracted measles, the first such death in the U.S. since 2015.

    To be fair Mexicans should probably be advised against traveling in Texas for their own safety anyway.
