KANSAS CITY, Kan. ? Two measles outbreaks in Kansas City have ended, but officials have just started to calculate the costs of containing them.

The city deemed the outbreaks officially over as of Monday, when there had been no new cases in 42 days, or two full incubation periods, the Kansas City Star reported. The city had been combating the highly contagious virus since March.

So you can see how difficult it is to halt the spread of measles once it gets within your community.?
