Hundreds under quarantine at UCLA and Cal State University after measles scare.
Students and staff at two Los Angeles universities were quarantined amid fears they may have been exposed to measles.
The school said those affected may have been exposed to measles at a campus library on April 11 and that 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.
The quarantines came on the heals of a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announcement that confirmed 695 reported cases of measles in the U.S, most since the disease was domestically eradicated in 2000. California had reported 38 measles cases as of Thursday.
