Officials said those who think they may have been in contact with the traveler should watch for symptoms for 21 days following the exposure date.

Potential symptoms of measles typically appear seven to 21 days after exposure.

Health officials advised that the last day for exposed individuals to monitor themselves for possible signs of infection is July 2.

Dr. Muntu Davis, Los Angeles County Health Officer, emphasized the importance of vaccination amid increasing measles activity. “As measles cases increase, it is important that residents take steps to make sure they are fully protected,” Davis said.

“The MMR vaccine is the safest and most reliable way to prevent measles and protect yourself, your family, and your community.”

Measles often begins with fever, cough, runny nose, and red or watery eyes, followed by a rash that usually starts on the face before spreading to the rest of the body. Health officials have not yet released additional details about the infected traveler.

The confirmed case adds to growing concern about rising measles numbers at major U.S. airports this year.

The situation underscores how quickly infectious diseases can spread through international travel hubs.

Local officials said they are continuing to trace potential exposures to ensure timely communication and intervention.

Travelers are advised to remain aware of any public health updates in the coming days.
