As of Friday, the Texas Department of State Health Services said, 481 cases of measles had been confirmed, a 14% jump over last week.

They include six infants and toddlers at a Lubbock day care center who tested positive within the past two weeks.

Two of those children are among 56 people who have been hospitalized with measles in the area since the disease started spreading in late January, health officials said.
