Measles Outbreak Linked to at Least Two LA Restaurants | Eater LA

"Identified by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health as a measles exposure site on April 11 (2:00 p.m.–4:30 p.m.), this restaurant was one of five locations linked to five confirmed measles cases and the first local transmissions in the county in 2019. Public health officials note that infected people can spread measles before symptoms appear (up to four days before a rash) and that most non‑immunized contacts become ill 7–21 days after exposure. Authorities urge anyone with symptoms or known exposure to call their healthcare provider before seeking care and stress that vaccination (two doses) is about 97% effective at preventing measles." - Mona Holmes
