New York Mayor Bill de Blasio and health officials declare an end to the recent measles outbreak in the city.
New York Mayor Bill de Blasio and health officials have declared an end to the recent measles outbreak in the city in a statement released Tuesday.
New York City just suffered its largest measles outbreak in nearly 30 years. According to the mayor's office, 654 people were diagnosed since the onset of the outbreak in October 2018. A large portion of the outbreaks happened in Orthodox Jewish communities, including the Brooklyn neighborhoods of Williamsburg and Borough Park. Many in those communities refused vaccinations on religious grounds. In April, the city set an emergency order requiring vaccinations in affected zip codes.
Although there have been no new cases of measles reported in New York City since mid-July, officials warned the threat remains.
