Four of the nine children of a US family living in Cabuya, Cóbano, Puntarenas, tested positive for measles and has been confirmed by the Ministry of Health this week.

The minors are currently under isolation in their home along with the rest of the rest of their family.

The US natives are missionaries who apparently became in contact with the virus when they received a visit of another missionary from Oregon, USA, who was visiting the Nicoya Peninsula and Limón and showed symptoms of measles.
