The US is facing its worst measles outbreak in 20 years. Almost 400 cases have been reported only in New York
Those under the quarantine were instructed to stay at home and avoid contact with others. They also were barred from traveling by public transportation, including planes, trains, buses or taxis. If they must travel for an emergency, they were told to notify public health officials first.
Still, several students at Cal State-LA were shocked that their campus could be hit by a measles outbreak. Those covered by the quarantine were singled out based on their possible exposure to either an infected UCLA student who had attended classes in two buildings on three days earlier this month or a person with measles who visited a Cal State-LA library on April 11, officials said.
Most of the cases are centered in two ultra-Orthodox Jewish communities in New York - one in Brooklyn, the other in suburban Rockland County. Measles usually causes fever, runny nose and an all-over rash but in a small number of cases can lead to deadly complications such as pneumonia and swelling of the brain.
