The South Carolina health department reported 176 measles cases related to the ongoing outbreak in the state on Tuesday, 20 additional cases since its last update on Friday.
The widening outbreak has been reported in the northwest part of the state, which includes Greenville and Spartanburg, according to the South Carolina Department of Public Health.
There are currently 287 people in quarantine and two in isolation.
Of those infected, 165 were unvaccinated, four were partially vaccinated with one of the recommended two-dose measles-mumps-rubella vaccine, one was fully vaccinated and four had unknown vaccination status.
Linda Bell, South Carolina's state epidemiologist, said holiday gatherings and travel likely contributed to the surge in cases.
"We do believe that the holidays contributed to this, in terms of activities that people may have participated in, without being as cautious as they could be, and sort of opting to just participate in other activities without paying attention to disease transmission in our communities," Bell said.
Seven of the new cases were known household exposures, five resulted from a previously reported school exposure, two resulted from an exposure at church, and one resulted from an exposure at either school or church, the state health department said.
The sources of four cases are unknown, and one is still being investigated.
"So the trajectory that we're looking at now is that we do anticipate more cases well into January," Bell added.
As of December 23, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported 50 measles outbreaks and a total of 2,012 confirmed cases of the disease in the U.S. this year, compared with 16 outbreaks reported in 2024.
The CDC defines an outbreak as three or more related cases.
A derailed CSX train leaked a flammable chemical and sparked a fire in a rural part of southern Kentucky on Tuesday, prompting authorities to issue a shelter-in-place order that was later lifted for nearby residents.
No injuries were reported after 31 rail cars derailed at about 6:15 a.m. CST in Todd County, CSX said in a statement. The derailment caused a leak of molten sulfur from one rail car and sparked a fire that was extinguished by late Tuesday morning, the company said.
Crews at the scene were working “as safely and quickly as possible" to clean up the site, it said.
“We appreciate the swift response and coordination of local first responders and emergency management officials,” the company said. “Our primary focus continues to be the health and safety of onsite personnel, the surrounding community and mitigating any potential risk to the environment.”
The chemical substance that leaked can be toxic when it is on fire, the company said. But air quality testing at the derailment site indicated that “everything is good now” and the shelter-in-place order was lifted, said Ash Groves, emergency management director for Todd County.
Todd County authorities had issued a half-mile shelter-in-place order around the impacted site as a precaution.
The derailment occurred about 1 mile (1.6 kilometers) west of downtown Trenton — about 55 miles (88.5 kilometers) northwest of Nashville, Tennessee.

A National Guard deployment in New Orleans authorized by President Donald Trump will begin Tuesday as part of a heavy security presence for New Year’s celebrations a year after an attack on revelers on Bourbon Street killed 14 people, officials said Monday.
The deployment in New Orleans follows high-profile National Guard missions the Trump administration launched in other cities this year, including in Washington and Memphis, Tennessee. But the sight of National Guard troops is not unusual in New Orleans, where troops earlier this year also helped bolster security for the Super Bowl and Mardi Gras.
“It’s no different than what we’ve seen in the past,” New Orleans police spokesperson Reese Harper said.
The Guard is not the only federal law enforcement agency in the city. Since the start of the month, federal agents have been carrying out an immigration crackdown that has led to the arrest of at least several hundred people.
Harper stressed that the National Guard will not be engaging in immigration enforcement.
"This is for visibility and just really to keep our citizens safe," Harper said. "It’s just another tool in the toolbox and another layer of security.”
The Guard is expected be confined to the French Quarter area popular with tourists and won't be engaging in assisting in immigration enforcement, Harper said. Guardsmen will operate similar to earlier this year when they patrolled the area around Bourbon Street following the vehicle-ramming attack on Jan. 1.
The 350 Guard members will stay through Carnival season, when residents and tourists descend on the Big Easy to partake in costumed celebrations and massive parades before ending with Mardi Gras in mid-February.
Louisiana National Guard spokesperson Lt. Col. Noel Collins said in a written statement that the Guard will support local, state, and federal law enforcement “to enhance capabilities, stabilize the environment, assist in reducing crime, and restoring public trust.”
In total, more than 800 local, state and federal law enforcement officials will be deployed in New Orleans to close off Bourbon Street to vehicular traffic, patrol the area, conduct bag searches and redirect traffic, city officials said during a news conference Monday.
The extra aid for New Orleans has received the support of some Democrats, with Mayor LaToya Cantrell saying she is "welcoming of those added resources.”
The increased law enforcement presence comes a year after Shamsud-Din Jabbar drove around a police blockade in the early hours of Jan. 1 and raced down Bourbon Street, plowing into people celebrating New Year's Day. The attacker, a U.S. citizen and Army veteran who had proclaimed his support for the Islamic State militant group on social media, was fatally shot by police after crashing. After an expansive search, law enforcement located multiple bombs in coolers placed around the French Quarter. None of the explosive devices detonated.
In the immediate aftermath of the attack, 100 National Guard members were sent to the city.
In September, Gov. Jeff Landry asked Trump to send 1,000 troops to Louisiana cities, citing concerns about crime. Democrats pushed back, specifically leaders in New Orleans who said a deployment was unwarranted. They argued that the city has actually seen a dramatic decrease in violent crime rates in recent years.
