A 40-year-old woman has died in Pennsylvania in connection with the state’s ongoing measles outbreak, WTAE reported. This marks the third death linked to the current health crisis, which has already claimed the lives of two infants in the state.
The Jefferson County coroner’s office confirmed that the woman passed away on Saturday. Jason Stiver, the Jefferson County chief deputy coroner and public relations officer, noted, “Many people associate measles with a childhood illness, but it can lead to severe complications in individuals of any age.”
