COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) -- A person with measles visited two public places near New Albany while infected, according to Columbus Public Health and Franklin County Public Health.
Health officials said the person visited the New Albany Early Learning Center at 5101 Swickard Woods Boulevard between 10:30 a.m. and 1:45 p.m. on Sept. 25. The person also visited Target at 6030 North Hamilton Road between 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the same day.
Officials noted the time windows include two hours after the person left because the disease can remain in the air for two hours.
The New Albany-Plain Local School District has also notified families and staff about potential exposure, according to officials.
Anyone who visited those locations between those times and has not been fully vaccinated with two doses of the MMR vaccine may have been exposed. Health officials urge anyone who may have been exposed to watch for symptoms and visit a doctor if sick. It could take one to three weeks after exposure to show symptoms.
Anyone with measles symptoms is asked to notify their provider's office before showing up. Symptoms include high fever, cough, runny nose and water eyes. A rash can typically appear three to five days after symptoms begin.
Currently, there are three confirmed measles cases in central Ohio, and all are among unvaccinated individuals who traveled internationally.
Health officials are working to identify if there are additional exposures and urged anyone with children 12 months or older to vaccinate their children immediately.
