The county has provided a list of potential exposure locations and times.

DALLAS COUNTY, Texas — Dallas County confirmed its first measles case of the year Tuesday, saying the affected resident had visited several North Texas locations while infectious.

County officials say that, because the virus is highly contagious and spreads through the air, anyone unvaccinated at any of these locations at the specified times may have been exposed.

“Measles is one of the most contagious diseases we know, but it is also highly preventable,” DCHHS Director Dr. Philip Huang said in a statement. “If you were at one of these locations during the identified time period, check your vaccination status and watch closely for symptoms. Most importantly, make sure you and your family are up to date on the MMR vaccine. Vaccination remains our best protection against measles and the best way to prevent further spread in our community.”

Dallas County provided the three following locations and times of potential exposure:

Officials say measles can stay infectious in the air for up to two hours after someone infected leaves the area. 

Dallas County advises anyone who may be infected to check their immunity status and monitor for symptoms like high fever, runny nose, watery eyes, cough and a progressive rash starting on the face and spreading down the body. Officials also advise calling ahead before seeking medical care to let them know you may have been exposed to the virus so they may take precautions to prevent exposure to other patients. Public transportation and ride-share services should also be avoided.

Those at increased risk for serious complications from the virus include infants, pregnant people without immunity and anyone immunocompromised.
