However, they are worried\u00a0about the spread of <a href=\"https:\/\/stateline.org\/2025\/12\/17\/measles-cases-rise-amid-holiday-travel\/\" target=\"_blank\">measles<\/a> after recent outbreaks around the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSomebody might be here for a game in Atlanta and be exposed to something \u2014 let\u2019s say measles, since that\u2019s been so prevalent lately,\u201d said Marcus Plescia, district health director at the Fulton County Board of Health, which includes the Atlanta region, \u201cBut by the time we realize that and start to look at who might be at risk, that fan might have traveled to Dallas to see their team playing there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSomething that happens here may actually have its impact somewhere else, and we\u2019re going to have to think about how we handle that and hand off information.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Alister Martin, commissioner of New York City\u2019s health and mental hygiene department, said health officials also are concerned about extreme heat, alcohol and drug use, and sexually transmitted diseases.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRelevant teams from disease control to mental health have been preparing to work in new capacities for months, and most recently, we tested our emergency capacity at our healthcare facilities,\u201d Martin said.<\/p>\n<p>At the briefing, the health officials said they are strapped for resources as a result of the expiration of COVID-19-era public health funding, and that host cities have gotten federal dollars for security and infrastructure needs but not for public health.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn Atlanta, at least, there\u2019s been some significant investment in infrastructure improvements, and those are very important things,\u201d Plescia said. \u201cWe\u2019ve not received a lot of direct funding for specific public health services.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Stateline reporter Shalina Chatlani can be reached at <\/em><a href=\"mailto:schatlani@stateline.org\"><em>schatlani@stateline.org<\/em><\/a><em>.<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"snrPubNote\">\n<p>This story was originally produced by <a href=\"https:\/\/stateline.org\/2026\/05\/13\/local-health-officials-prepare-for-influx-of-world-cup-fans\/\" target=\"_blank\">Stateline<\/a>, which is part of States Newsroom, a nonprofit news network which includes Missouri Independent, and is supported by grants and a coalition of donors as a 501c(3) public charity.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A message promoting the 2026 FIFA World Cup is shown after a qualifier match between Belgium and Liechtenstein in November in Liege, Belgium.
