In the evening of March 26, a state of emergency was introduced in Rockland County to combat the measles outbreak, which more than 150 people have infected in the region since last autumn. The order prohibits unvaccinated persons under the age of 18 years from being in public places, such as schools, shops and churches, writes Fox 5.

Lorin Costa said that she had brought her son to vaccination after receiving an automatic call from the school, which reported on the state of emergency and the ban on visiting. 26 March School Districts contacted parents of unvaccinated children and told them not to send students to March 27 classes.

Lane Goldstein of Grandview said that her son’s high school director called her and said that the boy could not attend school until he was vaccinated. She said that she had previously decided not to vaccinate him, because she “did not want to injure him,” but she did lead him to be vaccinated on Wednesday.

“I feel like we’re being bullied into getting vaccinated now,” she said.

About 30 people received measles vaccinations at a free district clinic.

“I think something very drastic needs to be done to get people to comply and for us to end this. This is a very serious outbreak,” said Rockland resident Renee Kahan, who visited the clinic for her booster shot.

A state of emergency that will last 30 days, was introducedBecause people refused to cooperate with health authorities working to stop a measles outbreak.

Rockland County attorney Thomas Humbach explained that the police would not stop people and demand a record of vaccinations. But if officials find out that the unvaccinated person was in a public place, law enforcement agencies will be involved in the proceedings. Violators may be charged with misconduct, punishable by up to six months in prison.
