The Health District said Monday that it’s currently investigating a case of Measles in an out-of-state visitor to Clark County.
Officials say the patient traveled into Harry Reid International Airport on October 13 for a layover at Terminal 3’s E Gates. They did not leave the airport, and departed on a flight around 8 a.m. that same morning.
No other cases have been confirmed. However, Measles symptoms — like a rash, cough, and fever — can take between seven to 21 days to appear.
The Health Department encourages anyone who might’ve come into contact with the infected person to get vaccinated, if they haven’t done so already.
Clark County has not had a confirmed Measles case in a resident since 2018.
