Summary
A confirmed Maryland measles case prompted an exposure investigation after the infected resident passed through Dulles Airport and visited Mary’s Center Adams Morgan Clinic on June 17 while contagious.
Officials said the resident had recently returned from international travel; possible exposure windows were 6 a.m. to 11 a.m. at Dulles Concourse C arrivals and 4 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the DC clinic.
Maryland and DC health departments are tracing contacts and urging anyone at those locations to check vaccination status and watch for symptoms for 21 days after exposure.
Measles can linger in the air for up to 2 hours after an infected person leaves, and officials said people with fever, cough, runny nose, red eyes or a later rash should stay home and call a provider first.
The case is Maryland’s fourth measles infection of 2026, adding to regional concern after other recent measles reports in Virginia and the Washington area.
