There are more sites under investigation where exposures might have happened. Individuals who were in the aforementioned locations were urged to verify whether they have received a measles vaccination. Even if they have never had the disease before and have not received the vaccination, they could still get infected if they are exposed.
Those who have been exposed and have not experienced any symptoms for longer than 21 days are no longer in danger.
According to Los Angeles County health officer Dr. Muntu Davis, “measles is spread by air and by direct contact even before you know you have it and can lead to severe disease.”. “For those who are not immune to the disease, measles is extremely contagious. For young children and vulnerable adults, it can cause serious complications. It starts with fever, coughing, red, watery eyes, and ends with a rash. “.
