Catfeine Cat Cafe said a person unknowingly infected with measles was at the Murfreesboro business on June 29 or June 30, prompting an alert for anyone there between 1 p.m. and 5 p.m.
July 21 is the date exposed guests should monitor for symptoms, the cafe said, after guidance from the Tennessee Department of Health.
CDC guidance cited by the cafe says symptoms can appear within 7 to 14 days and include high fever, cough, runny nose, red watery eyes, mouth spots and a spreading rash.
The cafe urged anyone who develops symptoms to call the Mid-Cumberland Regional Health Office before visiting a clinic or hospital, and said visits outside the listed dates and times are not a concern.
