The measles are still spreading, this is the country that has declared emergency conditions.

The country of only 200,000 inhabitants, located in the waters of the Pacific Ocean, between Hawaii and New Zealand, declared on Saturday the emergency situation after announcing in October that cases of measles have turned into epidemics and after some people died from this dangerous virus.

At least six children under the age of two reportedly died of measles, the declaration of this island country's Health Ministry, which was published last week, says. Of the 716 people suspected of measles infection, this minister said that 40 percent of them need hospitalization.

Starting this weekend, the citizens of Samoa are obliged to take the fruit vaccine if they have not yet received it. According to government data, only two thirds of the population have received the immunization vaccine.

Health sector general director Leausa Take Naseri said authorities are expecting the worst because of the large number of people who have not been vaccinated and that children who died from measles had not received the immunity vaccine.

New Zealand Foreign Minister Wiston Peters said on Friday that his country will send 12 nurses to Samoa and three thousand vaccines to prevent new fruit cases, writes the “The Guardian”, the newspaper Express broadcast.
