L\u00e9elo en espa\u00f1ol aqu\u00ed<\/a>. <\/p>\n The individual with measles was traveling through the airport, according to health officials. <\/p>\n Health officials are encouraging people who were exposed to check their vaccination status and watch for symptoms.<\/p>\n Measles is a highly contagious virus that spreads through the air when infected people cough, sneeze, or talk.<\/p>\n If someone is not protected against measles, they can get the virus up to two hours after someone else with measles left the same room or airspace.<\/p>\n Early symptoms include fever, runny nose, cough, and red, puffy eyes, followed by rash. Health officials said in some people, measles could lead to pneumonia, brain infection and death.<\/p>\n \u201cWe believe there is no threat to the general public associated with this case of measles,\u201d Health Commissioner Dr. Palak Raval-Nelson shared in a news release. \u201cWe encourage people who were possibly exposed to take action if they are not protected against measles. Many countries, including travel destinations, are experiencing measles outbreaks, so the potential for travel-related measles cases and subsequent outbreaks in the United States has increased. We strongly encourage parents to follow the CDC\u2019s immunization schedule and get their children fully vaccinated as soon as they are able. People planning to travel outside the United States should speak with their doctor about their travel plans and vaccinations needed.\u201d<\/p>\n For more information about measles, visit the\u00a0CDC\u2019s webpage on measles<\/a>.
