The Oregon Health Authority reports that an individual contagious with measles visited the Portland International Airport as well as locations in Marion County in February.
The individual is a resident of Illinois and had recently been to countries where the measles is common. The individual is unimmunized against the virus.
The Oregon Health Authority identified these new locations as sites where people may have come in contact with the virus:
- Youth With a Mission, 7085 Battle Creek Road SE, Salem, Feb. 18, 7 a.m. through Feb. 22, 1 p.m.
- Get Air Trampoline Park, 3910 Rickey St. SE, Salem, Feb. 21, 1:45-5 p.m.

- Portland International Airport: Southwest Airlines check-in area and Concourse C, Feb. 22, 12:30-5 p.m.
The Oregon Health Authority said that it is working with Marion and Multnomah counties to notify people who may have been exposed.
Public health officials urge people to avoid immediately going to a medical office if they are not immune, were at an exposure site and have symptoms.
Instead, they should call a health care provider ahead of time, to avoid exposing others who may be in medical facility waiting rooms.
