On Monday, New York Governor Kathy Hochul declared a statewide disaster emergency in response to a dramatic spike in measles cases. As of October 3, state officials have reported 108 confirmed cases, with the majority occurring outside of New York City.
This marks the first statewide disaster emergency declared by a U.S. state over a measles outbreak since cases began surging in 2025. The declaration follows a broader regional rise in infections, including a deadly outbreak in Pennsylvania described as its largest in over three decades.
