A recent Becker’s Hospital Review report revealed that measles cases are climbing across the United States, with 1,555 cases reported as of September 30, 2025 the highest annual total since the disease was declared eliminated in 2000. According to the CDC, 40 states have reported cases, and 86% of confirmed infections are associated with active outbreaks.
While vaccination remains the most effective defense, hospitals and care facilities are also facing renewed pressure to prevent airborne transmission and surface contamination within their environments especially as the flu and respiratory virus seasons approach.
Automated aerosolized hydrogen peroxide (aHP) disinfection systems, such as Breezy Blue, can provide hospitals with an added layer of protection by reaching airborne and hard-to-clean surfaces. When used after routine manual cleaning, these systems help ensure that no area is overlooked especially in high-risk environments like pediatric units, emergency departments, and isolation rooms.
With simple one-button operation and smart reporting tools through Breezy Cloud, healthcare teams can easily integrate whole-room disinfection into daily workflows without adding strain on staff resources.With both measles and influenza spreading across the country, infection prevention teams are reevaluating their protocols to minimize exposure and downtime between patients. Implementing consistent, automated disinfection cycles can help reduce risk and strengthen patient and staff safety measures during this critical period.
