Measles outbreak has gripped the parts of U.S as Pennsylvania's health department reported 943 measles cases as of Wednesday, according to its website. Earlier, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed two measles-related deaths in the country this year, up from one earlier, according to the agency's website.
Pennsylvania reported four measles-related deaths among unvaccinated residents earlier this month, sparking a disagreement between Governor Josh Shapiro and US Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. over how many of the fatalities were directly caused by the virus as the state grapples with a growing outbreak of the highly contagious disease.
