New York declares state of emergency over measles outbreak
Original: Measles outbreak mapped: New York declares state of emergency after virus wreaks havoc in Pennsylvania
New York has declared a state of emergency as a measles outbreak spreads, with the virus already causing disruption in neighbouring Pennsylvania. Reports are mapping the affected areas as health officials work to contain transmission. The emergency declaration allows authorities to speed up response measures, and the cross-state spread is drawing attention to vaccination rates and public health preparedness in the region.
Why now: A state of emergency over a measles outbreak in two US states is an unusual public health development drawing wide attention.
