NBC News, CNN and ABC News report that New York health officials said a child died in Lewis County in a death associated with the ongoing measles outbreak, the state's first measles-associated death in more than 30 years. The state statement gave no further details about the child. Gov. Kathy Hochul said the child contracted measles and that vaccination remains the best protection against the disease. NBC News cites state health department figures of 178 measles cases in New York this year, most outside New York City, and says Hochul declared the outbreak an emergency in October. NBC News also reports that Pennsylvania has 1,433 cases in what it describes as the nation's worst outbreak in 30 years.
