Orange County health officials are warning of another possible measles exposure after a confirmed case visited Disneyland last month.
The OC Health Care Agency on Saturday said an individual who was infectious with measles visited Disneyland Park on Thursday, Jan. 22 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Disney California Adventure Park from 3 p.m. until closing.
Anyone who was at those locations during the listed times may be at risk of developing measles symptoms between seven and 21 days after exposure, officials said.
The warning follows a measles exposure notice issued last week involving an international traveler who passed through Los Angeles International Airport and later visited Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park on Wednesday, Jan. 28.
Health officials urged people who are not fully vaccinated or who are unsure of their immunity status to contact a healthcare provider about receiving the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine.
“There are populations who cannot receive the measles vaccine — whether due to age, health conditions or allergies,” said Dr. Anissa Davis, Orange County’s deputy health officer. “Those individuals may face significantly higher health risks when exposed to the virus.”
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 733 measles cases have been confirmed across 20 states nationwide this years as of Feb. 5.
Symptoms typically include fever, cough, runny nose and red eyes, followed by a rash that begins on the face and spreads to the body, the agency said.
Health officials advised anyone who develops symptoms to stay home and call a medical provider before seeking care to avoid exposing others.
