'One person could possibly infect a thousand people,' said a health official.
Two universities in Los Angeles are quarantining hundreds of students and faculty who can't prove that they've been vaccinated against measles as California and the country grapple with the largest outbreak of the highly infectious disease since it was eradicated from the US nearly 20 years ago.
UCLA said that as of Wednesday 119 students and eight faculty members were under quarantine after an infected student attended classes for several days in two buildings in early April, coming into contact with more than 500 people and sickening a classmate as a result. Locating and quarantining potentially at-risk students and staff is an arduous task. Health officials have to find those who might have been in the infected space and verify if they've been vaccinated.
At Cal State LA, the number of unvaccinated people who might have come in contact with the disease could be higher and harder to narrow down.a person with measles went to the university library, which sees up to 2,000 visitors a day, Ferrer told reporters, prompting the county to issue a"blanket order" imploring anyone who was at the library at that time to contact health officials.
