Mayor Bill de Blasio declared a public health emergency Tuesday amid a measles outbreak — the worst outbreak in New York City since 1991. The declaration comes after the New York City Health Department ordered all ultra-Orthodox Jewish schools in a neighborhood of Brooklyn on Monday to exclude unvaccinated students from classes during the current measles outbreak. The health department said that any yeshiva in Williamsburg that does not comply will face fines and possible closure. The emergency order, which will take effect immediately, states that people living in four zip codes in Williamsburg — 11205, 11206, 11221 and 11237 — must get vaccinated or face fines up to $1,000. Anchor Stefan Holt also reports on the death of New York City firefighter, an attack on a woman in a movie theater and an earthquake on Long Island.
