Health department issues warning over potential measles exposure at DIA
https://denverite.com/2019/12/16/health-department-issues-warning-over-potential-measles-exposure-at-dia/A press release from the health department on Monday provided a list of places where the children may have exposed others at the airport. People who on Dec. 11 passed through Concourse A, the train between terminals, the west baggage claim and the west level 4 passenger pick up areas from 1:15 to 5:45 p.m. are believed to be at risk for exposure.
People who traveled on the airplane with the children are believed to be at risk. The release said they are being contacted directly by public health officials.
The three children are currently hospitalized at Children’s Hospital Colorado in Aurora. Anyone at the Children’s Hospital Colorado – Anschutz Campus Emergency Department in Aurora between 1 and 7:30 p.m. that day is believed to be at risk.
Dr. Bernadette Albanese, a disease control doctor at Tri-County Health, said they’re not releasing where the children traveled from, other than that it was international. The children have been placed in isolation to prevent further spread of the virus.
