Florida declares state of emergency over unusual disease outbreak
Original: Florida officials warn of ‘wildly unusual’ disease outbreak, declare state of emergency
Florida health officials have declared a state of emergency in response to what they describe as a 'wildly unusual' disease outbreak in the state. The declaration allows authorities to mobilise additional resources and respond more quickly as they work to identify the illness, track cases and contain further spread. Details about the disease, the number of people affected and which areas are hardest hit have not yet been made clear, and residents are awaiting further guidance from state agencies.
Why now: A state of emergency over a poorly understood disease outbreak naturally raises public concern and scrutiny of health authorities' response.
