Two universities in Los Angeles quarantine more than 300 students and staff in measles outbreak
A quarantine order was issued Thursday for hundreds of students and staff at two Los Angeles universities who may have been exposed to measles and either have not been vaccinated or can't verify that they have immunity.
Officials at California State University at Los Angeles also alerted its students and staff of a potential measles exposure that took place at a campus library on April 11 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Those at the library during that time were asked to provide immunization records or be checked for immunity at the health center, California State said in a statement Thursday.
The quarantines could last for up to 21 days, the department said. The announcement comes just days after public health officials declared a measles outbreak in the county.
