(JTA) – A New York state judge has lifted the state of emergency imposed by Rockland County that would ban unvaccinated minors against measles from traveling to public places.
The ban of one month of incarcerating unvaccinated children in places such as school, shopping centers, businesses and synagogues came into effect last month as a result of a severe measles outbreak.
Since October, the county has registered 167 confirmed cases of measles in its orthodox Jewish haredi community.
But Judge Rolf Thorsen suspended the injunction on Friday, saying the number of measles cases in the county did not meet the legal requirements for an emergency order, WCBS-TV reported.
The judge's order was made following a complaint by a group of parents at Green Meadow Waldorf, an independent private school, where many parents refused to vaccinate their children. The parents said the ban prevented "children from attending crèches and schools and banned their movement and banned them from gathering and gathering in public places," according to the Washington Post.
On Thursday, a group of Rabbis of Rockland Hbadidic issued a statement in Hebrew urging parents to vaccinate their children to stop the spread of measles, according to the WCBS.
The ban would have been applied retroactively and parents would be penalized if it had been proven that they had allowed their unvaccinated children to go to public places.
