HEALTH Undersecretary Rolando Domingo on Tuesday confirmed the measles outbreak in some areas in Negros Oriental which earlier declared an outbreak after several cases were reported. And I think they’re watching seven municipalities within the province since there are reported cases of measles,” Domingo told reporters. He said they have deployed teams to monitor the reported cases of measles in these areas. Last month, the DoH reported a measles outbreak in Zamboanga City, prompting the agency and the local government to launch a massive immunization program in villages. In January, Davao declared a measles outbreak in the province with 222 people affected.
