MICHIGAN, (WNEM) -

A second case of measles has been confirmed in Michigan for 2018, and if you traveled lately, you may have been exposed.

The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) said this case is unrelated to Michigan?s first, which occurred in March. Both are the result of exposure outside of the country and may have exposed other travelers.

The ill individual arrived on June 12 at around 3:45 p.m. at Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW) at the international arrivals area of the McNamara Terminal. That person was considered contagious at the time and health officials are working to contact potentially exposed passengers from the flight.

In addition to the possibility of exposing people at the airport, the ill individual was also at the following locations:

June 12 (5-7 p.m.): Hertz car rental airport shuttle bus
June 12 (5:30 p.m.) through June 16 (5 p.m.): Staybridge Suites, Ann Arbor
June 12 (7:30-9:30 p.m.): Jimmy John?s Gourmet Sandwiches store at 3945 S. State St in Ann Arbor
June 14 (2-6 p.m.): Concentra Urgent Care in Ann Arbor...

Two Additional Cases of Measles Confirmed in Michigan
July 26, 2018 WLEN News Staff Featured Slider, News Daypop

The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) has confirmed two additional cases of measles in Michigan for 2018; both related to international travel. These individuals are residents of Oakland and Washtenaw counties. Neither of these cases are related to the two previous Michigan cases in 2018. However, all four cases were the result of exposure outside of the country, emphasizing the higher risk of measles during international travel and the importance of being protected by vaccination.

One of the ill individuals arrived on July 18 at 11:59 p.m. at Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW) at the international arrivals area of the North Terminal and did not advise officials of being ill, but was considered contagious at the time. Health officials are in the process of contacting potentially exposed passengers from the flight. Limited exposure to others at DTW may have occurred as this individual exited international baggage claim. The second individual was not contagious during their flight or while at DTW. Individuals who may have been exposed at DTW should watch for symptoms consistent with measles for 21 days after the possible exposure. If symptoms appear, contact your health care provider promptly. Please direct any questions to your health care provider or your local health department...
