SINGAPORE: An 11-month-old girl attending preschool is the latest reported case of measles in the country, the Communicable Diseases Agency (CDA) said.

This is the fifth measles case involving an infant below 12 months of age in 2026, and the first case involving a child attending preschool since CDA stepped up measures to better contain and manage measles infection.
