- The county says a person with measles visited Patient First Primary and Urgent Care at 1411 S. Collegeville Road on Jan. 29, with potential exposure between 1:15 p.m. and 4:15 p.m.
- People who were there are urged to watch for fever, cough, red eyes, runny nose, or rash for 21 days, stay home if symptoms appear, and call a health care provider before seeking in-person care.

- Health officials note higher complication risks for young children, pregnant people, and those with weakened immune systems.
- The alert comes as measles activity rises nationally, with Virginia reporting a fifth case listing multiple public exposure sites and South Carolina’s outbreak reaching 876 cases, alongside recent travel-linked exposures at airports and Disneyland.
