It is noted that today, March 18, at a meeting of municipal services, the deputy chairman of the Chisinau department of medical and social assistance, Vladimir Bolocan, said that five citizens of Ukraine, including children, were infected with measles.
According to Bolocan, the first three people infected with measles were discovered in the middle of last week, and the next day the number of patients increased to five.
All infected people are citizens of Ukraine. The children were hospitalized at the Tom Chorba Infectious Diseases Hospital, their condition is stable,” he noted.
The center where the virus outbreak was recorded was quarantined for 21 days.
We took measures to contain the spread of the disease and introduced quarantine for 21 days from the moment the last case of measles was detected,” Bolocan noted. “If we find new cases of infection these days, the quarantine will have to be extended.
The official added that he does not know whether those infected were vaccinated against measles.
People don’t have documents and don’t want to say whether they’ve been vaccinated. But from conversations it turned out that only one family was vaccinated, he noted.
