The Centers for Disease Control is reporting a rare domestic measles cluster.
The cluster involves two people and confirmation comes after the C-D-C identified a patient who contracted (感染) the disease from the index case at a northern Taiwan hospital.
According to C-D-C Deputy Director General Philio Luo, the new case is a medical worker in his 30s who tested positive for the disease on Tuesday of this week.
Luo says a total of 306 people have been identified as close contacts of the man, who is currently being isolated at home.
The C-D-C says people who visited B-2 food court in Terminal 2 of Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport on February 22 and Liang's Rice Noodle Soup in New Taipei's Zhonghe District on February 25, should monitor their health until March 15-th.
Israel Claims Aid Convoys Reach Northern Gaza

Israeli officials say aid convoys carrying food reached northern Gaza this week.
The delivery on Wednesday is the first major one in a month to the devastated (被摧毀的) area, where the U.N. has warned of worsening starvation.
The officials say 31 trucks carrying food entered northern Gaza on Wednesday, and nearly 20 other trucks entered the north on Monday and Tuesday.
Associated Press footage showed people carrying sacks of flour from the distribution site.
It was not immediately clear who carried out the deliveries.
A spokesperson for the U.N.’s humanitarian coordination office said that the United Nations was not involved.
The U.S., Egypt and Qatar have been working on a ceasefire deal that would release some of the hostages still held by Hamas and open the door to a greater influx (湧進) of aid to Palestinians.
Families of the hostages have launched a four-day march from southern Israel to Jerusalem to demand their loved ones be set free.
Oil Spill off Trinidad and Tobago Reaches Dutch Island
發布於 2024-02-29 10:41:14
Authorities say an offshore oil spill that led Trinidad and Tobago to declare a national emergency earlier this month has reached the shores of the Dutch Caribbean island of Bonaire hundreds of miles away. It's the first sign of how far the leaked oil has traveled.
Officials say a minimum of 1.6 million liters of oil mixed with water have been vacuumed from where a barge (平底載貨船) capsized.
But officials warned the number is likely larger since it does not include oil picked up with sand and seaweed.
A preliminary probe found the barge was being tugged to Guyana when it overturned off Tobago.

The team behind the Odysseus spacecraft says their mission has 'changed the economics of landing on the moon'.
Speaking on Wednesday, representatives of Intuitive Machines said the lander will be "put to sleep" before being powered up again in the next two to three weeks.
Last week it became the first privately developed spacecraft to soft land (緩慢著陸，軟著陸) on the lunar surface.
