A person in Berkeley has the measles, and officials warn that the patient visited a popular supermarket 10 days ago.
A case of measles has been confirmed in Berkeley, and officials are warning that the patient may have been infectious in public more than a week ago when visitingThe supermarket at 2020 Oregon St., known for its wide selection of organic produce, is less than a mile away from the edge of the UC Berkeley campus.Measles is one of the world’s most contagious diseases, and can infect 90% of unimmunized people who inhale the airborne virus.
Officials said anyone who went to Berkeley Bowl on May 7 between 3 and 5 p.m. should be watching for signs of measles — runny nose, red eyes, cough and fever, which are followed by a rash that appears on the face and spreads downward. Symptoms can show up seven to 21 days after exposure. Unvaccinated people are particularly at risk, as are those with severely weakened immune systems, such as those undergoing cancer treatments.
People who suspect that they have measles should call their doctor first. Special arrangements need to be made to see suspected measles patients to protect others from being potentially infected at a physician’s office. As of Wednesday, there have been 45 confirmed measles cases in California this year, including 30 associated with outbreaks.
