A New York county plans to ban unvaccinated children from all public spaces amid a relentless measles outbreak.

Rockland County Executive Ed Day plans Tuesday afternoon to declare a countywide state of emergency, which will begin at midnight and remain in place for 30 days or until unvaccinated minors receive the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine, according to a news release. The county will provide further details at a 2 p.m. news conference.

By late last week, more than 150 cases had been confirmed in Rockland County, about 30 miles north of Manhattan, according to the county's website. More than 82 percent of these cases had not received a single dose of the MMR vaccine, and the largest number of cases - 45 percent - were seen in children age 4 to 18, the data showed.
