PHOENIX (AZFamily)<\/b> \u2014 Three new East Valley locations have been added to the list of places where people may have been exposed to measles as health officials confirmed a new case. <\/p>\n

The Maricopa County Department of Public Health said the person who had measles lives in the Valley and didn\u2019t travel anywhere. It\u2019s unclear where the person was exposed, but officials said it was likely within Maricopa County. <\/p>\n

\u201cThis highlights the ongoing risk of local transmission during this outbreak, and the importance of vaccination and early symptom recognition,\u201d the department said in an emailed statement.<\/p>\n

Anyone who was at those places and times should watch for symptoms. If symptoms develop, such as high fever, red, watery eyes, cough, runny nose and a red, blotchy rash, they should stay home and call their doctor. <\/p>\n

Measles can survive in the air for up to two hours. It spreads by physical contact or through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes. <\/p>\n
