Experts with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are headed to South Carolina soon amid a measles outbreak there, a state official said on March 4.
The CDC has approved a request for help from South Carolina and is sending three Epidemic Intelligence Service officers, Dr. Linda Bell, South Carolina’s state epidemiologist, told reporters during an online briefing. The team is expected to arrive next week and will assist South Carolina officials for up to two weeks in analyzing information they’ve collected during the outbreak.
