Restaurants in Downtown Los Angeles and Venice Exposed to Measles | Eater LA

"A confirmed measles patient who had recently traveled internationally visited this Santa Monica restaurant between July 14–16, 2019, prompting a Los Angeles County Public Health investigation to identify possible exposures. The case is not linked to earlier outbreaks in April and May; health officials traced the patient’s movements and cautioned that anyone present without proper immunization could be at risk, while also noting there is currently no known ongoing risk at the venue. Residents are reminded that measles is highly contagious (rash may appear up to four days after infection, with most unvaccinated people falling ill 7–21 days after exposure) and that vaccination is the best defense — officials advise checking immunizations, visiting a local public health clinic, or calling 2-1-1." - Mona Holmes
