Two More Measles Cases Linked to Chicago Day Care Center
The total number of measles cases in Illinois is now 10 after two more infants from a suburban Chicago day care center were found to have the disease, local health officials said Tuesday.
Nine of the cases are associated with a KinderCare Learning Center in Palatine, and all 10 infant and adult patients were unvaccinated, according to Chicago and Cook County officials, the Associated Press reported.
Public health nurses are closely monitoring families of infants who attend the day care and may have been exposed to the measles virus.
