Travelers could get measles at a U.S. airport
Travelers passing through Denver International Airport have been warned of possible measles infection, writes USA Today.
According to a local health department press release, passengers at Denver International Airport may have been at risk for measles after three passengers with confirmed cases of viral infection passed through the airport last week.
Three children who were not vaccinated traveled through Colorado from a different state after traveling to a country where measles is continuing.
Travelers visiting Room A, the train to the baggage claim area, the western baggage claim area, and the western Level 4 passenger reception area between 13:15 and 17:45 on December 11 may have been exposed to the risk of infection.
On the subject: Why has measles returned to the US
Healthcare providers have already contacted passengers who flew on the same plane as sick children. Anyone who was in these places at this time should monitor the symptoms for themselves and their children.
“Symptoms of measles can begin 7 to 21 days after exposure and include a fever of 101 degrees or higher, runny nose, red eyes and cough,” the Tri-County Health Department said in a statement. “Two to four days after the first symptoms appear, a red, blotchy rash begins on the face and spreads to the rest of the body.”
Sick children are hospitalized at the Children's Hospital of Colorado.
“I encourage everyone to make sure they get the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine,” said Dr. John M. Douglas Jr. of the Tri-County Health Department. “Vaccination is the only way to protect yourself and your loved ones from measles.”
