Rockland County Executive Ed Day held a press conference earlier today to announce that he had declared a \u201cstate of emergency\u201d regarding the New York state county\u2019s 153 cases of measles over a 6-month period, and placed\u00a0a ban on all children under the age of 18 from appearing in any public area, which includes schools, malls and places of worship.<\/p>\n

Mr. Day said that this was the\u00a0\u201cfirst such effort of this kind\u00a0nationally.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr. Day tried to downplay fears of police checkpoints and random checks for vaccination status, but he also stated that any parent found to be not in compliance with the emergency order would be referred to the district attorney\u2019s office for possible prosecution.

If we have a situation where it comes to our attention that a parent is willingly, knowingly, not allowing a child to be vaccinated, under the emergency order, it will be referred into the district attorney.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The Rockland County Health Department, who recommended the emergency ban, has reportedly been going door to door and calling homes within the community in an effort to deal with the measles \u201cepidemic.\u201d<\/p>\n

Day was critical of those who did not welcome the home visitations:<\/p>\n
