Tarrant County Public Health has issued an important exposure notice following the confirmation of a measles case linked to two venues in Grapevine. The individual, who tested positive for the highly contagious virus, visited these locations while being infectious, prompting health officials to alert the community.
Health authorities have urged anyone who was present at the identified venues during the specified times to be vigilant for symptoms of measles, which include high fever, cough, runny nose, and a distinctive rash.
