The New York Times reported that an international panel of scientific experts will convene Tuesday to evaluate whether the United States has lost its measles-elimination status. The newspaper, in a New York Times report by Apoorva Mandavilli on the measles elimination question, said that genetic data already shows the virus is once again endemic in the United States.

CBS News reported that the United States could lose its measles elimination status after cases more than doubled in the last year. Its CBS News video report on rising measles cases includes comments from Dr. Céline Gounder.

The Hill reported that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) will change its response to the ongoing measles outbreaks if the country loses its elimination status this month. The same outlet's headline, however, attributes to the CDC chief the view that there would be no change in the response. In remarks reported by The Hill, the chief said, “Let’s say we did lose our measles elimination status,” and added that the agency would keep doing the same thing it does today.

The reports differ on the agency's response. The Hill's opening summary describes a changed response, while its headline and the CDC chief's remarks describe no change. The summaries do not say which account is correct.

The reports also do not describe the outcome of the expert panel's review. The New York Times said the panel meets Tuesday, and The Hill framed the possible loss of status as one that could occur this month. CBS News reported the rise in cases without giving a determination on the status itself.
