Health officials are monitoring thousands of measles infections across several districts as the deadly virus spreads through communities, prompting the government to urge parents to make sure their children are vaccinated.
In a statement, the Ministry of Health advised that children displaying symptoms should stay away from schools and busy public places to help curb further transmission.
Children under five and those suffering from malnutrition are most vulnerable to the disease, which can cause severe complications such as pneumonia, swelling of the brain, and death.
