The Southern Nevada Health District has confirmed a measles case in a traveler at Harry Reid International Airport. 

The Health District says the person traveled from out of state, and potential exposures occurred on the morning of Monday, October 13 at Harry Reid International Airport. The individual spent time in Terminal 3 at the E Gates for a flight departing at approximately 8 a.m. and reported visiting no additional locations in Clark County outside of the airport.

People who may have been in Terminal 3 and E Gates during that time, or who may have had contact with the individual while at the airport, should review their immunization status and contact their health care providers if they are not fully vaccinated against measles or have not previously had the disease.

Measles symptoms can develop within seven to 21 days after exposure. 

Measles can be a potentially serious disease. Symptoms include fever, cough, runny nose, and red eyes. The characteristic rash typically appears one to four days after the early symptoms begin. Measles can spread from about four days before the rash appears until four days after.

Clark County has not had a confirmed measles case in a resident since 2018.
