State health officials are coordinating to identify people who might have been exposed, including contacting potentially exposed passengers on specific flights. Measles symptoms typically develop 10-14 days after exposure to the virus, with early symptoms including fever, runny nose, cough, and red, watery eyes. People are generally considered immune to measles if they have had two measles vaccine shots, previously had measles, or were born in the United States before 1957. NBC Washington reports that residents with questions about potential exposure can contact their local health departments for more information.
