Officials at UCLA said a student contagious with measles attended classes for three days earlier this month, potentially putting hundreds at risk. The university has identified dozens who may have been exposed. They're being quarantined until medical records can prove their immunity."You need to stay at a specified location, and you need to stay there until such time that you are deemed as not likely to come down with the disease," said Dr. Muntu Davis, a health officer at the L.A. County Department of Public Health.That could be anywhere from 24 hours to seven days.
While hundreds showed up for an anti-vaccine protest in the California capitol on Wednesday, the highly-populous state has managed to keep the number of measles cases relatively under control due to high vaccination rates, with 38 cases so far this year. Nationwide, the government has counted nearly 700 measles cases, roughly three-quarters of them in, which had among the largest and longest-lasting outbreaks since the disease was all but eliminated in 2000.
