The New York state Department of Health is warning some New York and New Jersey residents that they may have been exposed to measles.

A man who returned from Israel was diagnosed with the virus.

Officials say he visited several locations between Oct. 4 and Oct. 11, including the Lifetime Gym in Montvale and businesses near the states' border, including a kosher market, Costco, and an emergency room in Westchester.

Measles are highly contagious. People who have not been vaccinated can develop symptoms that seem at first like a common cold, followed by a rash.
