Newark Airport passenger may have exposed others to measles, New Jersey Health Department says
NEWARK, New Jersey (WABC) — A passenger at Newark Airport may have exposed people to measles.
New Jersey’s Health Department says someone with the disease passed through the airport on Friday, December 19.
The person was in terminals B and C between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m.
The Health Department hopes to track down people who were likely exposed. It also suggests anyone who is not vaccinated to get the MMR shot.
Measles symptoms include a high fever, cough, runny nose, watery red eyes, and a rash that usually appears between three and five days after symptoms begin. The rash usually begins as flat red spots that appear on the face at the hairline and spread downward to the neck, torso, arms, legs, and feet.
