SALT LAKE CITY (KUTV) — Several areas on the University of Utah campus have been singled out for possible measles exposure as cases continue to rise across the state.
In an update posted Wednesday, the Salt Lake County Health Department (SLCoHD) said measles exposure had been reported at the Salt Lake campus between March 24 and March 28, including during a STEM Conference at the Crocker Science Center.
Other locations include the Sorenson Molecular Biotech Building, the James Talmage Building, the A. Ray Olpin Student Union, Shoreline Student Housing, and Urban Sailor Coffee.

SLCoHD health officials advised anyone who may have been at these locations in the last week to watch for symptoms, as measles can spread easily through the air.
Symptoms include fever, cough, runny nose, red eyes and a rash. Symptoms may start to develop within two weeks after exposure.
If measles symptoms develop, health officials said you should stay home and call your healthcare provider before visiting a clinic.
So far in 2026, over 360 Utahns have been diagnosed with measles, adding to the 197 diagnosed in 2025. A majority of those cases have been confirmed in the southwest region of the state, including Washington, Kane, Garfield and Iron County.
Several cases have also been identified along the Wasatch Front, particularly in Utah County and Salt Lake County, where there have been 87 and 60 confirmed cases, respectively.
