Health Officials Warn of Measles Exposure in D.C., Maryland, and Virginia

Health officials in D.C., Maryland, and Virginia are issuing a warning about measles exposure after two confirmed cases were identified in the region. The recent cases have raised concerns among health authorities, prompting them to alert the public about potential exposure risks.

Individuals who may have been in contact with those infected are urged to monitor for symptoms, which can include high fever, cough, runny nose, and a distinctive red rash. Measles is highly contagious and can spread through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes.

Officials are encouraging everyone, especially those who are unvaccinated or have not received the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine, to take precautions. Vaccination remains the most effective way to prevent the spread of measles. Health authorities are working to trace contacts of the confirmed cases and are emphasizing the importance of vaccination to protect the community.
