300 People in California Possibly Exposed to Measles

The Epoch Times Header

Individuals from 16 California counties were possibly affected, a Sacramento County spokesperson said.

Around 300 people at a hospital in northern California possibly were exposed to measles after a child went to the facility for treatment, local authorities said.

The child was evaluated at UC Davis Healthโ€™s emergency department between 12 p.m. PT and 5 p.m. PT, Sacramento County officials said in a release this past week. Media reports said that the child had recently returned from international travel.

The hospital stated that the situation is โ€œunder controlโ€ in a news release, saying it has contacted 300 people who might have been exposed.

โ€œThere are no additional potential exposures at UC Davis Medical Center beyond those people who have been identified and contacted,โ€ the release said. The hospital web page for the news release appears to have been deleted.

โ€œUC Davis has a record of each patient and employee in the Emergency Department that day, and notifications about potential exposure are being sent through phone calls, the electronic medical recordโ€™s online messaging portal, letters, in person, and to the care teams of patients who were admitted from the Emergency Department during the time period,โ€ the hospital said.

Individuals from 16 California counties were possibly exposed, a Sacramento County spokesperson told the Sacramento Bee newspaper. The official did not list the impacted counties.

The child also visited the San Joaquin Urgent Care before being sent to the UC Davis emergency room, authorities in El Dorado County said in a separate release.

โ€œWe will be receiving a list of those who were confirmed at the UC Davis Emergency Department at that time and will be contacting those individuals for further instructions,โ€ Dr. Matthew Minson, El Dorado Countyโ€™s health officer, said in the release.

โ€œPlease do not go directly to the emergency department as that could increase spread and put others at risk,โ€ he added.

Officials in both Sacramento and El Dorado counties advised people to get the measles vaccine or check their immunization records.

It comes as authorities in Chicago confirmed at least five cases of measles in the city in the past several days, including four at a center holding illegal immigrants.
