(BY: North Dakota Monitor) – North Dakota colleges are being advised to assess their risk and campus policies as the number of measles cases continues to grow in the state.

Burke County became the fourth North Dakota county with a confirmed measles case, the state Department of Health and Human Services reported.

The health department, on its measles information website, added two additional exposure locations in Crosby in Divide County, which neighbors Burke County.
