South Carolina's measles outbreak has risen to 847 cases, with 58 new infections reported since Tuesday. The state health department warns that the outbreak could persist for weeks or months due to low vaccination rates. Currently, 443 individuals are in quarantine and 20 in isolation, with the latest quarantine ending on February 24. The outbreak, which started in October, is primarily affecting the northwest region, including Greenville and Spartanburg. Among those infected, 760 were unvaccinated, while others had varying vaccination statuses.
