The measles outbreak in Texas may be over, but as vaccination rates continue to drop, officials caution 'I don’t think this is the end at all.' Denver airport has already announced an exposure.
People across Grand Junction, a gas station in Fruita and travelers who flew to and from Denver International Airport last week could have been exposed to measles, state health officials said Monday.
Health officials confirm a second measles case in Mesa County and a possible measles exposure at Denver International Airport in an out-of-state traveler.
In a press release, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment said that in conjunction with Mesa County Public Health, the agencies found that the adult resident had no “known connection to other recent exposures reported in Colorado and has not traveled outside the state.”
Measles symptoms include a fever, runny nose, red eyes, cough and a rash that typically starts on the face. Most people become contagious about four days before the rash appears, so they could inadvertently infect others while thinking they have a less serious disease.
