One confirmed case of measles has been reported at Newark Liberty International Airport earlier this month.

Health officials are asking anyone who was inside Terminal B at Newark Liberty on Oct. 19 between 2:15 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. and are feeling symptoms of measles to see their health professional.

A non-New Jersey resident has been confirmed to have measles and now officials are using contact tracing to alert others to their possible exposure.

Symptoms can include flu-like symptoms but also flat red spots that begin on the face and hairline before spreading.

Based on the date of possible exposure symptoms can occur as late as Nov. 9.
