Northwest Iowa (RI) — People who were in Sheldon, Sioux Center, and Hull recently may have been exposed to the measles.
State officials say the latest Iowa measles case is in a western Iowa adult who hasn’t recently traveled outside of Iowa and had no known connection to others in the state who’ve recently contracted the virus. Because this person was fully vaccinated, it’s likely they’ve experienced mild symptoms and are less likely to spread the virus to others. Still, public health officials say the person was considered to be contagious last week when they were at businesses in Sioux Center, Sheldon, and Hull, on Monday and Thursday and may have exposed others to measles.
