FLORENCE, Ariz. (AP) — Pinal County authorities say four members of a family in the Kearny area have the measles and likely are linked to last month's outbreak in Southern California.

County Public Health Services District officials say family travelled to Disneyland between Dec. 16-20 and all four people were unvaccinated.

The names of the family members haven't been released.
