During the epidemic disease, the increase in travel during the spring break was a cause for concern for the spread of Coid 19.

What are they saying:
Since families, teachers and staff enjoy spring break, DFW Hospital Council President Stephen Love is concerned that people will bring home unwanted memories by their journey: measles.
“When I am talking to doctors of infectious disease that we are watching, and this is a spring break, and we have some pockets of unreasonable, there is a different possibility that we can see the measles spreading,” he said.
Love says that health officials saw Spikes in Kovide 19 cases after spring break, and they do not want the same trend with measles.
He said, “One: They talk about how contagious it is.” “Two: They strictly recommend drops to people.”
Especially the baby.
Love said, “You’ve got a history of 60 years with measles vaccine here.” This is nothing new, and it has been proven to work. We believed that we have really eliminated the measles in this country almost the versed. ”
Although the Trant has not been confirmed in any case in the county, health officials cannot reject this possibility.
“I will definitely not expect. But there is the possibility,” Love warned. “Since we have some areas in Tarant County and Dallas County where we have less than 90 % of the vaccination rate. And with the infectious disease that tells me, you really want the measles vaccine rate to be 95 % or more.”
