King County health officials announced Wednesday they’re investigating a new confirmed measles case in a child, with possible exposures at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.
The highly-contagious infection was likely acquired while the child was traveling outside the United States, according to a Wednesday statement from Public Health — Seattle & King County. Before the child was diagnosed with measles, he had been near Gate N-11 and Carousel 13 in the baggage claim on Nov. 5.
Health officials are advising anyone who was in that area from 10 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. that day — which includes up to two hours after the child was in the area — that they could have been exposed to measles, the statement said.
