- Over 126 children younger than 7 years of age developed Measles in Gauteng after visiting various entertainment parks in the Mpumalanga and Limpopo provinces over the March 2023 school holidays. These cases represented 56% of the visitors in this age group on the days in question. Infected children residing in Limpopo and Mpumalanga and visited the parks accounted for 36% and 16% respectively. No older individuals were affected. The causative agent was determined to be a member of the viral genus Morbillivirus in the Paramyxoviridaefamily. The disease is known to spread by coughing and sneezing, close personal contact ordirect contact with infected nasal or throat secretions of the infected children. 4.1. Based only the information given, can you classify this outbreak as an endemic to South Africa? Why or why not? 4.2.
