A traveler infected with measles passed through Hollywood Burbank Airport on June 17, potentially exposing dozens of passengers at Gate A4 and at the nearby Thrifty Rental Car facility (June 17–18). Los Angeles County health officials are investigating, noting this is the county’s seventh measles case this year and urging those who were exposed to monitor for symptoms for 7–21 days. Those who have had measles or were vaccinated are likely protected, but exposed individuals should stay vigilant. Public health departments will notify affected travelers, with final monitoring dates set for July 8 (Gate A4) and July 9 (rental car location).
