The Connecticut Department of Public Health announced
Friday that a second case of the measles has been reported in a Fairfield
County child.
Officials say the child is in the same household as the
child who contracted the first case.
Symptoms include a fever, runny nose, red eyes and a sore
throat. They typically appear seven to 14 days after exposure.
A red or reddish-brown rash will then develop, starting from
the hairline and spreading throughout the whole body.
Measles is also highly contagious. It can spread four days
before the rash appears, and four days after the rash appears.
The department says these are the first cases of measles in
the state since 2019.
