The New Jersey Department of Health is alerting the public to a possible measles exposure at Newark Liberty International Airport.
They say the patient is a non-New Jersey resident who visited the state while infected.
Anyone who was at Newark airport in Terminal C on July 29 between the hours of 5:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. and Terminal A on July 30 between the hours of 1:30 p.m. and 7 p.m. may have been exposed. Potentially exposed individuals, if infected, could develop symptoms as late as Aug. 20, officials stated.
Symptoms of the measles include a high fever, cough, runny nose, watery, red eyes and a rash that usually appears between three and five days after symptoms begin.
Officials have confirmed six measles cases in New Jersey so far this year.
