This means that at least 29 people in the country have been infected in the measles outbreak at the festival, where the spread began.

The new cases have been found in Västerbotten and Sörmland, respectively, reports P4 Västerbotten and Sörmlands Nyheter .

The incubation period after the festival has expired, so there should not be many more cases, infectious disease physician Maria Marklund tells SVT News Västerbotten.

Most of those infected in the measles outbreak are under 18 and were unvaccinated against measles.
