Minor with measles may have exposed others at areas in Washington state: SEE LIST

SNOHOMISH COUNTY, Wash. — Snohomish County public health officials said Saturday that a minor with confirmed measles may have exposed others at public areas in Washington state.

The minor with a confirmed measles infection was a member of a group of foreign minors visiting states in the United States, officials said.

Confirmation of the measles infection came on July 6 and the health department worked with the minor's host family to create the list below, where the child may have exposed others to measles:

June 20, 2018: 2:00 PM - 10:00 PM

Health officials say anyone who was at one of those locations around the same time as the minor with measles should:

  1. Find out if they have been vaccinated for measles or have had measles previously; and
  2. Call a health care provider promptly if they develop an illness with fever or illness with an unexplained rash between June 21 and July 12. To avoid possibly spreading measles to other patients, do not go to a clinic or hospital without calling first to tell them you want to be evaluated for measles.

Health officials define measles as a highly contagious and potentially severe disease that causes fever, rash, cough and red, watery eyes. It is mainly spread through the air.
