Measles II

Unfortunately it's spreading thanks to exposure at a day care center.
The two children were among a dozen quarantined after being around a 23-month-old toddler at the Kingdom Care Child Care Center in Greenfield. The young girl was diagnosed with measles on April 4 and spent a couple of days at Children's Hospital before being released. The quarantined children must stay in their homes until April 18.

This is when you really feel for the parents. The two children are five months and twelve months.

On a lighter side, are/is measles plural or singular?
"It's spreading..." or "They're spreading..."

Free chance to take a shot at my grammar.
