More measles cases detected in Philippines 

Children with measles are treated as their parents accompanied them inside the pediatric ward of the San Lazaro Hospital in Manila, the Philippines, Feb. 7, 2019. More measles cases are being detected in and outside Metro Manila, prompting the Philippine Department of Health (DOH) to expand the declaration of a measles outbreak in several provinces in the Philippine main Luzon island and in the Visayas region in the central Philippines. The announcement came a day after the DOH officially declared a measles outbreak on Wednesday in Metro Manila after it has noted a sharp increase in the number of measles cases. (Xinhua/Rouelle Umali)
