Whooping Cough -- United States
An additional 20 cases of pertussis were confirmed last week by Olmsted County Public Health, matching the highest weekly number since the local health department activated its emergency response team on [23 May 2016]. [The city of Rochester, Minnesota is the Olmsted County seat and home to Mayo Medical School and the Mayo Clinic.]
The new recent cases bring Olmsted County's 2016 total to 173, which is by far the most in Minnesota and the highest local level since the 2012 outbreak.
