SANTA ANA, Calif. — Officials from the Los Angeles Department of Public Health and OC Health Care Agency confirmed a second measles case in an international traveler who arrived at LAX and visited Orange County.
According to the Orange County Health Care Agency, the person who was infected with measles visited Goofy’s Kitchen in Disneyland Hotel and Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park on Wednesday, Jan. 28, 2026.
Visitors who were at Goofy’s Kitchen in Disneyland Hotel between 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. are at risk of developing measles from seven to 21 days after being exposed. Visitors to the theme parks from 12:30 p.m. to closing are also at risk.
The HCA Communicable Disease Control Division is working with Disneyland to contact employees who may have been exposed.
Measles is preventable with two doses of the MMR vaccine, according to OC health officials. People who are fully vaccinated are considered protected. Adults born before 1957 or who had measles in the past are generally immune.
The OC agency said measles is a highly contagious viral illness that spreads through the air when an infected person breathes, coughs, or sneezes, and it can also spread through direct contact with infectious droplets.
Symptoms typically include fever, cough, runny nose and red eyes, followed by a rash that begins on the face and spreads to the body.
Individuals who have unknown immunization status, or who have not received the measles vaccine, are at high risk of developing measles seven to 21 days after being exposed.
According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), as of Jan. 30, 2026, just one month into the year, there have already been 588 confirmed cases of measles in the country.
By comparison, 2025 recorded 2,267 cases, the highest annual count in over 30 years.
Last week, Orange County Health Care Agency officials also reported a confirmed case.
