Overview

  • Boston health authorities, which issued an alert Wednesday, identified JetBlue Flight 470 and Logan’s Terminal C as potential exposure sites between 12:00 and 2:30 a.m. on April 14.
  • Agencies are notifying possible contacts and urge anyone unvaccinated who was there to stay out of public places and watch for symptoms through May 5.
  • The traveler arrived from Fort Lauderdale, left the airport in a private car, and Rhode Island officials say he is a Providence County man in his 40s who is recovering at home.
  • Officials report no other exposure locations in Boston tied to this case, and they say vaccinated people face low risk because two MMR doses prevent most infections.
  • The alert comes during a broader U.S. rise in cases, with the CDC reporting 1,748 infections as of April 16, and New Jersey issuing a separate Newark Airport warning for April 14.
