From the Daily Mail: A second person traveling through Los Angeles International Airport has tested positive for measles.
The patient arrived on a China Airlines flight on March 5, and was in Terminal B between 7 pm and 10:40 pm.
Over the following days, they then visited a nail salon in North Hollywood and a grocery store in El Monte.
Officials said anyone who may have visited areas of exposure should check their vaccination status immediately.
Measles is the most infectious disease in the world, with one patient capable of infecting nine out of 10 unvaccinated people they come into contact with.
LA Public Health announced, “Public Health has confirmed the first case of measles in 2025 in a Los Angeles County resident that recently traveled through LAX and visited other locations in LA County while infectious.”
