Overview
- State health departments confirmed separate measles cases tied to recent international travel and warned the public with location-specific notices.
- Maryland listed possible exposure at BWI’s international arrivals areas, a FastMed Urgent Care on Smith Avenue in Baltimore, and Sinai Hospital’s emergency departments.
- Rhode Island identified the Atmed Treatment Center and Panadería El Quetzal in Providence as exposure sites, and said the patient is recovering at home.
- Officials urged people to check their MMR status, noting that two doses or birth before 1957 usually means protection, and asked those not fully protected to call a healthcare provider.
- Maryland advised anyone at the listed sites to watch for fever, cough, red eyes, or rash for up to 21 days and said some recent exposures may qualify for post-exposure treatment.
