Two cases of measles confirmed in Tokyo


Health minister Katsunobu Kato on Tuesday gave a warning about a measles outbreak after two patients were confirmed to have the virus in Tokyo, the first such cases in the capital since 2020.

Measles “is extremely infectious, and those who don’t have immunity to the disease will get it almost 100%,” Kato said at a news conference.
