South Carolina (WCIV) – The South Carolina Public Health Department confirmed this week that measles occurred in the northern part of South Carolina.
As of Wednesday, eight measles cases have been reported, but it is a quick event that is related to the doctor. Five of these eight cases were reported in just a week.
Dr. Linda Bell said, “In the northern part of the community with low vaccination rates, there is a high risk of continuous rapid spread of disease.”
In all cases, the individual did not receive vaccinations or had no natural immunity. The department is currently investigating whether some of these cases are spread to the school community. They recommend that South Carolina residents are still vaccinated. They say that it is the most important tool to prevent the spread.
We can spread each case to 20 others in the population with low vaccination scope. Dr. Bell said, “When you have a range of about 90%of your insurance coverage, you need to get at least 95%guarantee.

Measles are very contagious and can be bought in the air for up to 2 hours after someone coughs or sneezes. The most early symptoms include high fever, cough, runny nose and red eyes, and red rashes that start with the rest of the body.
State officials are also asking people to stay home if they are thought to have been exposed to viruses or have symptoms.
