The Southern Nevada Health District is reporting a confirmed case of measles in a visitor to Clark County, according to a release by the agency Monday.

The person traveled through Harry Reid International Airport from out of state, and potential exposures occurred on the morning of Oct. 13. The individual spent time in Terminal 3 at the E Gates for a flight departing at approximately 8 a.m. and reported visiting no additional locations outside of the airport.

Because measles is highly contagious, people who may have been in Terminal 3 and E Gates during that time, or who may have had contact with the individual while at the airport, should review their immunization status and contact their health care providers if they are not fully vaccinated against measles or have not previously had the disease.

The measles virus can remain in the air for up to two hours after an infected person has left the area.
