County public health officials\u00a0have confirmed\u00a0two unrelated\u00a0cases\u00a0of measles.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Both\u00a0people\u00a0who got\u00a0sick\u00a0travel to San Diego for work.\u00a0One of the cases involved\u00a0public exposure.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Health officials say the infectious\u00a0person,\u00a0who\u00a0did not have proof of measles vaccination, spent time at these locations:\u00a0<\/p>\n
Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina\u00a0located\u00a0at\u00a0333 W Harbor Dr, San Diego, CA 92101\u202f\u00a0on May 17,\u00a02026\u00a0from 9 a.m. to\u00a03:45\u00a0p.m.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Baskin Robbins\u00a0located\u00a0at\u00a0791 Palm Ave.\u00a0Suite\u00a0103, Imperial Beach, CA 91932 on\u00a0May 20 between 5 and\u00a07:30 p.m.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
County Immunization staff are working with the Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina to identify and follow up with potentially exposed employees, and notifications are also being sent to guests who were on site during those times.<\/p>\n
\u201cMeasles\u00a0spreads very\u00a0easily, even through the air, so anyone who was at these\u00a0locations\u00a0during the listed\u00a0times should watch for symptoms and contact\u00a0their health care provider if they\u00a0start to feel sick,\u201d\u00a0said\u00a0Sayone Thihalolipavan, M.D., M.P.H., County public health officer.<\/p>\n
People with symptoms are asked to call their\u00a0healthcare provider\u00a0before arriving\u00a0so that infection control measures\u00a0can be put in place.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Measles\u00a0symptoms\u00a0typically\u00a0appear\u00a0seven to 21 days after exposure. Early signs\u00a0include fever,\u00a0cough, runny\u00a0nose\u00a0and red eyes, followed\u00a0by a rash\u00a0one to four days later.\u00a0People are\u00a0contagious four days before and four days after the rash appears.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
The best\u00a0prevention\u00a0against\u00a0measles is vaccination.\u00a0With outbreaks\u00a0reported\u00a0in several\u00a0states,\u00a0officials urge\u00a0everyone\u00a0to ensure\u00a0they are fully\u00a0vaccinated, especially travelers. Infants between 6 and 12 months of age who travel should get one dose. Anyone\u00a0over 12 months\u00a0who travels\u00a0should receive\u00a0two doses at least four weeks apart.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Complications are more common in children younger than 5 years old and adults 20 years and older.\u00a0\u00a0Severe cases can be life-threatening.\u00a0There is no\u00a0medicine that\u00a0cures\u00a0measles, but people who develop\u00a0complications may need\u00a0medical care tailored\u00a0to those issues.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The second case of measles\u00a0did\u00a0not result in public exposure.\u00a0<\/p>\n
