The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) reports that 4 new cases of the measles have been confirmed in southern Illinois.
Two of those cases were in the Williamson-Franklin Counties area. Health officials there report that the cases are socially linked and are not part of an outbreak of the disease in that region.
The IDPH continues to say that the risk to the general public remains very low, but they do urge people to get vaccinated as a precautionary measure, if they have not been previously.
Volunteer registration for the October 23, 2026 Putnam County Day of Service is open online.
