A New York suburb has banned children not vaccinated against measles from public spaces, such as schools and shopping malls, as it fights the state's worst outbreak in decades of the potentially deadly disease.
"We will not sit idly by while children in our community are at risk," County Executive Ed Day said in a statement."This is a public health crisis, and it is time to sound the alarm." The ban begins at midnight after which unvaccinated children will not be permitted in locations such as places of worship, schools and shopping malls. Outdoor spaces like playgrounds are excluded from the ban. People medically unable to get vaccinated are exempt.The outbreak began when a traveller visited Israel and returned to a predominantly ultra-Orthodox Jewish neighbourhood of Rockland County.
