    NORTH STATE, Calif. - Butte County Public Health is investigating two confirmed cases of measles in adults who do not have documented histories of vaccinations against the virus. Also, Community Education Specialist Tim Mapes of the Shasta County Health & Human Services Agency said Sunday that the Shasta County measles case is related to cases in Butte And Tehama Counties and are considered to be part of cluster.

    Both adults with confirmed measles in Butte County are past their infectious period and can no longer spread the illness to others, but the Butte County Public Health Department is working with Enloe Medical Center and other healthcare providers to identify individuals who might have had contact with the infected people while they were still contagious.

    The Esplanade House at 181 E. Shasta Ave. in Chico has been identified as a possible location for public exposure during the period from March 15 through March 19, 2019. If you were at this location during this timeframe, you can call (530) 353-5564 to speak with Public Health officials on Sunday, March 24 until 5 p.m. and next Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

    The public contact and exposure investigation is still active. Additional exposure locations may be identified and announced in the future...

                  UC Davis Health said Wednesday they sent out roughly 200 letters to people who may have been exposed to the highly contagious measles virus March 17 in the emergency department at UCD Medical Center. A young girl taken care of there was diagnosed with the illness.

                  The letter from UC told recipients: ?You will need to notify your primary health care provider(s) and your child?s provider(s) of this possible exposure to discuss your possible risk of infection, vaccination history, and other questions you may have.?

                  One mother, Rayna Souza, told Fox News 40 that she was dismayed that her terminally ill son, 7-year-old Jackson, had been in the hospital?s ED within an hour of the Calaveras County girl who was diagnosed with measles.

                      Mariposa, CA ? Mariposa High School basketball players and spectators that attended a tournament in Turlock last month may have been exposed to measles and health officials now fear more students could be at risk.

                      This latest scare comes on the heels of another one just last month in Calaveras County, as reported here. In that case, a child was diagnosed with the disease after returning to her Valley Springs home from an overseas trip. The case even prompted an alert to neighboring Amador County residents that had also come in contact with the girl.

                      Mariposa County Health Officer Dr. Eric Sergienko was first alerted to the potential measles risk after receiving an encrypted email from the California Health Department?s communicable disease unit on Friday, March 29th.

                          The San Francisco Department of Public Health (DPH) says that a patient infected with the measles was in SF at the beginning of April and may have exposed public transit riders to the highly infectious disease.

                          DPH spokesperson Rachael Kagan stressed in Tuesday?s Tuesday?s emergency announcement that ?there is no outbreak? and that ?risk to the general public is very low,? but said that there is still some risk to anyone who may have been exposed.
