Summary
Terminal 5 travelers at Chicago O'Hare may have been exposed to measles after an international passenger who arrived June 17 tested positive, the Chicago Department of Public Health said.
Anyone in Terminal 5 between 5:50 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. that day could be at risk because measles is highly contagious.
Symptoms — including high fever, cough, runny nose and a rash — usually appear 7 to 21 days after exposure.
CDPH urged potentially exposed people to check their vaccination status and to call a healthcare provider before visiting a clinic, urgent care center or emergency department if symptoms develop.
