Two hours have been added to the time the person left the locations because the measles virus can linger in the air for two hours.

Measles can cause pneumonia and encephalitis and is easily spread through the air when someone coughs or sneezes. People can also get sick after coming in contact with mucus or saliva from an infected person, health officials said.

There is no ongoing risk of transmission at the listed locations, officials said.
