Mapping the cases

LOS ANGELES COUNTY



THE GROVE



A person associated with the latest case visited popular tourist spots, including the Grove, the Los Angeles Farmer's Market, nearby shops and stores and the Los Angeles International Airport. People who traveled through those areas on April 27 are at risk for the next 21 days of developing measles.



LAX





An LAX traveler marked the sixth confirmed measles case in L.A. County this year. The patient traveled abroad through Tom Bradley International Terminal at LAX on April 23 between 4 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., rode on a Fox Auto Parks shuttle on that day, and visited the Home Depot on 20th Street in Lancaster three days later, between 8 a.m. and 11 a.m. The patient got measles after traveling internationally, and the case is unrelated to any of the other cases announced this year.



County health officials warned of three possible measles exposures in the past two months. A passenger with the illness passed through Terminal 7 on April 3. That person arrived in the late morning and left that night through Terminal 8. Another traveler with the viral infection passed through the airport in Terminal 7 on March 5. Another person with measles arrived at the airport on Feb. 21, traveling from Terminal B to Delta Terminal 3.



Health officials do not believe LAX is under threat of a measles outbreak.



Long Beach





Long Beach officials said a person infected with measles went through the Long Beach Airport the morning of March 30 and April 7.



Health officials said anyone in the airport at the time could have been exposed, but there was no continuing risk of exposure.



The Long Beach Department of Health and Human Services confirmed a case of measles in a resident of that city. That patient was described as a vaccinated graduate student at UC Irvine who has not traveled internationally. The Orange County Health Care Agency released a list of locations where people may have been exposed to the viral disease.



UCLA





Los Angeles County health officials said 28 UCLA students are quarantined on campus or self-isolating off campus as of Sunday. That number is significantly lower than when the quarantine peaked at 129 last week. The student with measles attended classes at Franz Hall and Boelter Hall on April 2, 4 and 9 while contagious, according to UCLA.



"We expect that those notified will be quarantined for approximately 24-48 hours until their proof of immunity is established. A few may need to remain in quarantine for up to seven days. We have arranged for those who live on campus to be cared for at UCLA while they are quarantined," UCLA said in a statement.

CSU Los Angeles officials said Monday that a "majority" of the 183 people under individual quarantine orders and 445 people under a blanket quarantine order had been cleared. An unknown number of people were under a blanket quarantine order and asked to self-report if they were at CSU Los Angeles' Library North on April 11 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.



The university did not give a definitive number but said the library staff, faculty employees and student assistants were cleared to return to work over the weekend. The library was open and operating on expanded hours.



A person with measles visited CSU Los Angeles' Library North on April 11 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. As a result, university officials said 127 staff employees and 71 student employees were sent home under quarantine orders and told to stay home to avoid contact with others as much as possible.



"The Department of Public Health has determined that there is no known current risk related to measles at the library at this time," CSU Los Angeles said in a statement.
