Hundreds under quarantine at UCLA and Cal State University after measles scare.
Students and staff at two Los Angeles universities were under quarantine on Thursday amid fears that they may have been exposed to measles.
The university said those affected may have been exposed to measles at a campus library on April 11 and they were either unvaccinated or couldn't immediately verify that they are immune. "We expect that those notified will be quarantined for approximately 24–48 hours until their proof of immunity is established. A few may need to remain in quarantine for up to seven days," UCLA Chancellor Gene Block in a statement Wednesday."A few may need to remain in quarantine for up to seven days. We have arranged for those who live on campus to be cared for at UCLA while they are quarantined.
