Taipei, April 21 (CNA) A second case of measles was confirmed to have been contracted
The CDC confirmed two new cases of measles in Taiwan Saturday — an imported case from Thailand and a domestic case found at the Linkou hospital.
The man infected at the hospital is a male nurse who is suspected of having contracted the virus from a patient April 4.
Given that just the day before the CDC announced the case of a 40-year old woman who also contracted measles at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, the CDC has deemed this situation a disease cluster and has asked the hospital to come up with response measures. [FULL STORY]
