Minnesota has confirmed 10 new measles cases since Monday, bringing the state's total to 18 this year. A pediatrician expressed concern, noting anticipation of the virus spreading from larger outbreaks like the one in West Texas. One child has been hospitalized in Minnesota. Most cases are linked to domestic travel and unvaccinated children. Arizona and Utah are also experiencing significant outbreaks.
