No additional cases of measles have been identified in Oregon.

Oregon public health officials urge people to avoid immediately going to a medical office, if:
They are not immune AND
They have been exposed AND
They have symptoms
Instead, call a health care provider or urgent care center by telephone to create an entry plan to avoid exposing others in waiting rooms.
OHA has also established a call center for general questions related to the measles. Anyone who has questions about public exposures should dial 2-1-1. The call center hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, including weekends.
