People who were exposed to the virus could develop symptoms as late as Aug. 2 if they are infected.

Health officials say that the virus is easily spread through the air when someone coughs or sneezes and can remain in the air up to two hours after an infected person leaves the area. Symptoms include a high fever, cough, runny nose, watery red eyes, and a rash that usually appears between three and five days after symptoms begin.

The Health Department is urging people to stay up to date on their vaccines.
