CIBOLO, Texas - A confirmed case of Rubella has been reported at a San Antonio-area school.



On Thursday, Legacy Traditional School - Cibolo sent an email to parents and guardians of students, informing them of the confirmed infection.

Chris Van Deusen with the Texas Department of State Health Services (DHSH) said it is important to note the difference between German Measles (Rubella) and Measles (Rubeola), which is more contagious and poses a much greater health risk.

According to DHSH, there are currently no confirmed cases of Measles (Rubeola) in San Antonio or surrounding areas.

There is currently an outbreak of Measles (Rubeola) with more than 100 confirmed cases and several exposure warnings across the state, including San Antonio.
