JUST IN: Measles outbreak state of emergency bars unvaccinated minors from public places
After more than 150 confirmed cases of measles were reported, Rockland County Executive Ed Day declared a countywide state of emergency.
As of March 21, there were 151 confirmed reported cases measles, the majority of the cases involving people between four and 18 years of age, according to the Rockland County Department of Health. One to three-year-olds were the next highest affected group, followed by those more than 19 years of age and finally, those under a year old. Although the cases are largely clustered in eastern Ramapo, the small geographic size of the county means cases could occur anywhere.
Rockland County previously asked anyone with a fever, rash or conjunctivitis to stay home and not have visitors over in an effort to help curb the spread of the disease. Measles is contagious to the point that someone can contract it by entering a room someone with measles was previously in.
