MIGRANT MEASLES CASES SPARK FEARS OF WIDER OUTBREAK

Burrito Recall As Warning Issued Over 'Serious Infection'

The first measles cases in five years in Chicago are sparking concerns of a
wider outbreak, though officials say that vaccination should keep most people
healthy.

On Tuesday, the Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH) confirmed three more
measles cases from new migrant arrivals at a shelter in Pilsen in the Lower West
Side. The CDPH is coordinating what it calls "a comprehensive, city-wide
response" that has included in-person support from the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) to curb the effects of the infectious virus.



The measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine is encouraged to prevent and protect
from measles. Most Chicagoans were likely vaccinated as children, although
children aged 12 years and younger may be more prone due to not receiving the
vaccine based on weak immune systems.


Signs are posted at the entrance of a migrant shelter in the West Loop
neighborhood on January 30, 2024, in Chicago. The city has confirmed measles
infections for the first time in five years. Signs are posted at the entrance of

"While we're seeing new cases every day, this is not like the COVID-19 outbreak.
The vast majority of Chicagoans are vaccinated against measles and therefore not
at high risk," said CDPH Commissioner Olusimbo Ige in a statement.

"But those who are unvaccinated need to take precautions and if they're exposed,
quarantine immediately and connect with your healthcare provider. Above all
else, get vaccinated so you, too, can be protected from this virus."

The three new cases confirmed on Tuesday brings the total to eight in the last
week, one of which officials say was unrelated to new migrant arrivals.

Newsweek has reached out to the CDPH and the CDC via email for comment.

Measles is a contagious respiratory infection that causes a rash and fever, and
is capable of leading to pneumonia and other complications. Symptoms include
high fever, rash, cough, runny nose and red eyes.



It spreads through the air via coughs or sneezes. A non-immune individual can
contract the infection up to two hours after an infected person was in the same
room with them. Infected individuals can also spread measles four days before a
rash ever appears, and four days after it does appear.



Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, a Democrat, has been joined by New York City
Mayor Eric Adams and Denver Mayor Mike Johnston, also both Democrats, in calling
for more financial assistance from the federal government and President Joe
Biden's administration to properly shelter the influx of migrants coming into
their cities.

The migrant flows continue to enter the Windy City, some accusing shelter
employees of racism and assault. The surges have also dismayed some Chicagoans
who have criticized leadership, including Biden, for not addressing the influx
at the southern border.



Last month, Illinois Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker and Cook County Board
President Toni Preckwinkle said continued sheltering of migrants requires an
additional estimated $321 million to maintain facilities and services—letting
taxpayers foot the bill for some $70 million.
