Officials announce new measures to fight NY measles outbreak

NEW YORK — Officials trying to contain a measles outbreak in a county north of New York City on Tuesday ordered all unvaccinated people exposed to the disease barred from public gathering places, including houses of worship, for up to three weeks.

The order, issued by Rockland County, comes one day after New York City closed a preschool over non-compliance with measles vaccine requirements.
