The DAC briefed Cabinet about the response to the measles epidemic at a special meeting Monday afternoon.
While the mortality rate continues to climb since the Epidemic was declared, 471 patients admitted have been discharged from the Main and District Hospitals.
A total of 679 patients were admitted since the outbreak.
The meeting heard that the vaccination programme is also picking up speed with over 32-thousand receiving their injections prior to the Mass Vaccination Campaign which started last week Wednesday.
