Measles is a virus that spreads through the air and by coming into direct contact with someone who has it. Symptoms show up in 10 to 14 days after exposure. Some symptoms are a high fever, cough, runny nose and red eyes, followed by a rash that typically starts on the face and spreads to the rest of the body.
Measles is considered highly contagious and can be spread through coughs and sneezes. It was the greatest number of measles cases the country had seen since the disease was eliminated in 2000. Within about 5 days, it fades in the order it appeared.
