Clark County Public Health is continuing its measles outbreak investigation. Since Jan. 1, we have identified 34 confirmed cases and nine suspect cases. Public Health has also identified several new locations where people may have been exposed to measles.
Clark County Public Health is urging anyone who has been exposed at an identified location and believes they have symptoms of measles to call their health care provider prior to visiting the medical office to make a plan that avoids exposing others in the waiting room. People who believe they have symptoms of measles should not go directly to medical offices, urgent care centers or emergency departments (unless experiencing a medical emergency) without calling in advance.
