Columbus Public Health and Franklin County Public Health are investigating and responding to a measles outbreak among five children with no recent history of travel. One additional unrelated case of measles with a recent history of international travel has also been confirmed. All cases were not fully vaccinated.

If you suspect you or a family member has measles: DO NOT arrive at healthcare facilities without notice. CALL FIRST. Immediately call your healthcare provider and let them know about your symptoms so that they can tell you what to do next. Your healthcare provider can make special arrangements to evaluate you, if needed, without putting other patients and medical office staff at risk.

Adenovirus is highly contagious and spreads through:
*Respiratory droplets (coughing, sneezing)
*Close personal contact
*Contact with contaminated surfaces
*Fecal-oral transmission (especially in children)
*Poor hand hygiene
The virus is not easily killed by many disinfectants and can survive on surfaces for extended periods, contributing to rapid spread.
