With the two new confirmed measles cases, Clark County Public Health also identified a new location where people may have been exposed to the virus: the Vancouver Clinic, 700 NE 87th Ave., Vancouver, Washington, from 3:30 to 9:30 p.m., Friday, March 1 and 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., Saturday, March 2.

Along with the Clark County cases, there has also been one case confirmed in the Seattle area.

There have been four confirmed cases in Oregon, all Multnomah County residents. There could potentially be more as the Oregon Health Authority reported Friday that a traveler contagious with measles traveled in Portland and multiple locations in Salem.
