There have been nearly 300 cases of measles in one neighborhood since the outbreak began.
As the measles virus continues to spread across the country, officials in New York City outlined a series of steps Tuesday to address the large number of cases afflicting one particular Brooklyn neighborhood.
Though the Health Department ordered yeshiva schools to exclude those students who were unvaccinated until the outbreak is declared over, not all schools are complying. In January, one school that did not comply with the exclusions was connected to over 40 cases of measles, said the department. The department reserves the right to fine or completely close down those yeshivas that do not comply.
