These locations are now under scrutiny as potential sites of exposure for others. The specific times and dates of the visits are outlined below, and health officials are urging individuals who were present at these places during those periods to take precautions.

Understanding Measles Incubation and Symptoms

The minimum incubation period for measles is typically seven days. However, symptoms can appear anywhere between 7 to 21 days after exposure. Health officials are advising anyone who was at any of the above locations during the listed times to contact their healthcare provider if they suspect they may have been exposed, lack immunity to measles, or begin experiencing symptoms.

People who were exposed—especially those without immunity through vaccination or prior infection—should monitor themselves for symptoms through January 17. Early symptoms of measles include a cough, runny nose, red eyes, and a mild to moderate fever.

What Should You Do?

If you believe you were at any of the mentioned locations during the specified times, it’s important to assess your vaccination status. Those who are not immune should be vigilant for symptoms and seek medical advice if needed.

Additional Information

Health leaders emphasize that the risk of further exposure is limited to the times provided. There is no indication that the public is at increased risk beyond these periods. However, staying informed and taking preventive measures is crucial for public health.
