Measles Outbreak Surges in South Carolina, Hundreds Quarantined
South Carolina is currently facing a significant measles outbreak, characterized by rapidly rising case numbers and extensive quarantines. Health officials report that hundreds of residents have been quarantined as the outbreak accelerates, with 27 new cases identified in Spartanburg County alone. As vaccination rates remain low, experts express concern about the ongoing spread of the disease, which has prompted CVS Health to offer vaccines to residents. The situation is further complicated by potential implications for neighboring states, intensifying public health efforts to curb the outbreak.
