A county in New York state declared a state of emergency after more than 100 people were diagnosed with measles.

Starting at 12 a.m. on March 27, anyone under the age of 18 who hasn’t been vaccinated will be barred from public places in Rockland County until getting the MMR vaccine—or until the state of emergency expires within 30 days, according to WABC.
