Measles is a virus that is spread through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Those who are not vaccinated are at high risk when around someone who has measles. Symptoms include cough, rash, fever and sore eyes.

If you have received two Measles Mumps Rubella vaccinations, you are protected. If you received one or no MMR vaccinations you are at an increased risk of infection.

The city is asking people to call the doctor immediately if you have been to these locations during these dates and develop a fever before Jan. 1, 2020. They also ask that you do not just show up to doctor’s office but to make sure you call first to ensure the safest preventative way to stop possible spreading of the virus.
