A virus that “does not belong in the 21st century” is spreading in New York

Health officials are warning New Yorkers about an old virus that is resurfacing across the Empire State.

Governor Hochul is urging residents to get their measles-mumps-rubella vaccines in light of new measles cases in the Empire State.

Measles Spreading Again In New York State

In response to new measles cases in New York State, Governor Hochul launched a new web portal this week to help people get access to vaccines and public health information.

“Measles doesn’t belong in the 21st century, and it certainly doesn’t belong in the State of New York,” Hochul told the audience. “As measles outbreaks occur at home and around the globe, it’s critical that New Yorkers take the necessary steps to get vaccinated, get educated and stave off the spread of this preventable disease — the safety of our communities depends on it.”

According to Hochul’s office, at least four cases of measles have recently been confirmed in New York State.

“None of the cases this year are related to each other or connected to the outbreaks in Texas and New Mexico,” Hochul’s Office told the Hudson Valley Post.

Here are the top seven measles symptoms to watch out for.
