The number of people who contracted measles in the Detroit area due to contact with an orthodox haredi traveler has more than doubled in the last three weeks to 39.
All reported cases, with the exception of one, due to contact with an Israeli known as the "Michigan Zero Patient" are located in Oakland County, The Washington Post reported on Friday. The man was involved in the fundraising of a Brooklyn-based charity.
The issue of March 26, when the Detroit Jewish News reported the outbreak, was 18.
The Israelis had visited synagogues, businesses and yeshivas before Purim Feast after their arrival from New York, where a measles epidemic was raging in some Orthodox Jewish communities.
