Five Disneyland employees infected with measles in California

(Reuters) - Five employees of Disneyland have been infected with measles in an outbreak traced to the California amusement park, although three of them have recovered from the viral disease and are back on the job, company officials said on Wednesday. Orange County health officials told the Disneyland resort on Tuesday that two employees had tested positive and had been placed on medical leave, the fifth case since last Thursday, a Disney spokeswoman said. "Cast members who may have come in contact with those who were positive are being tested for the virus," Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Chief Medical Officer Dr. Pamela Hymel said in a statement. California health officials earlier this month linked the worst outbreak of measles in more than a decade to Disneyland, saying anyone who visited the amusement park in Anaheim between Dec. 15 and 20 may have been exposed. via Health News Headlines - Yahoo News Read More Here..
