Measles information:

Measles is a highly contagious virus spread through the air. It can linger in a room up to two hours after someone with the virus has been there and you can catch it even before the sick person develops a rash.

The virus starts with a fever and can also cause a runny nose, cough, red eyes, ear infection, diarrhea and a rash of tiny red spots starting at the head and then spreading. It is especially dangerous for babies and young children.

The CDC said almost everyone who has not been vaccinated will get the virus if they are exposed.

If you think you have the measles, contact your healthcare provider before visiting a clinic.
