Health officials on high alert after world’s most infectious disease is detected in New
Two cases of measles have been reported in New York City, officials have warned.
Manhattan borough president Mark Levine said on Monday that two cases of measles have been identified in the Lower East Side and SoHo areas of Manhattan.
No details have been released on the patients, and it’s unclear if they were NYC residents or traveled from abroad.
Levine said the New York City Department of Health is ‘reaching out to people who may have been exposed to encourage testing.’
