Measles is still a health danger, and parts of the St. Louis region have confirmed cases of the disease.

The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, the St. Louis County Department of Public Health, and the St. Charles County Department of Public Health have been notified of an internationally imported confirmed case of measles on August 7.

The departments are waiting for the completion of tests to determine the strain of disease from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, according to a statement.

Exposures were recorded at Fitness Edge in Creve Coeur, MO, Total Access Urgent Care in St Charles, and the Emergency Department at Barnes-Jewish Hospital St. Peters in late July, according to a statement from the City and County public health departments.

Public health officials from all three agencies have been working to notify individuals who may have been exposed to measles. The public should also be aware of measles symptoms and know how to reach out to their physician if they experience symptoms, specifically a rash.​..
