Child with measles was at Sea-Tac Airport

SEATTLE (AP) — The Seattle-King County health department says a child who apparently was exposed to measles while overseas was infectious at Sea-Tac Airport the evening of May 26.

Health officials say unvaccinated people could have been exposed to the contagious disease if they were at Concourse A and baggage claim that day between 6:20 p.m. and 10 p.m.

Those people should call a health care provide if they develop a fever and rash in the next two weeks.
