Summary
Santa Clara County Public Health said a resident exposed to measles visited three public locations on June 8, creating possible exposure risks for others in the Bay Area.
SFO was affected from 8:30 to 11 a.m., while Trader Joe's on Coleman Avenue and International Halal Market on East Santa Clara Street were affected between 8 and 10 p.m.
Health officials urged anyone present during those windows to watch for symptoms, especially people who are pregnant, unvaccinated, immunocompromised or infants.
Symptoms can appear 7 to 21 days after exposure and include fever, cough, runny nose, red eyes and a rash; officials said the risk is low for people with two vaccine doses.
Doctors said U.S. measles cases are rising as vaccination exemptions increase, though Santa Clara County reported no new measles cases since the June 8 exposure.
