The action taken by county executive Edwin Day extends the original declaration and will run through Sat., May 25. Nearly 50 new cases of measles have been reported in Rockland County in less than a month, confirming what Day's administration predicted, that “this outbreak continues to rage despite the best efforts of our department of health.” Under the new order, schools and daycare centers are required to exclude from classes students without proof of having had the MMR vaccines or lab evidence of immunity against the measles, mumps and rubella, or a valid medical or religious exemption on file.
