New York declares state of emergency over measles outbreak
Original: New York governor declares state of emergency after spike in measles cases
The governor of New York has declared a statewide emergency in response to a sharp rise in measles cases. The move gives health authorities additional powers to contain the spread of the disease. Measles outbreaks have been rising in parts of the United States, often linked to pockets of low vaccination rates.
Why now: An emergency declaration over a vaccine-preventable disease is unusual and raises public health concerns.
