Ministry of Health & Wellness Confirms Two Measles Cases in Belize

The Ministry of Health & Wellness informs the public of two confirmed positive cases of measles in Belize. The last confirmed case of measles was in 1991. The positive cases were identified in persons from the Corozal and Cayo districts who formed part of a group with a recent travel history to Mexico. Since their return on March 31, 2025, two of the persons developed fever and rash, and samples were collected, which confirmed the diagnosis. All persons who travelled in that group remain in isolation at this time, and the ministry continues to monitor for any development of fever and rash.
