Guests of Dayton’s Disney on Ice Show Might Have Suffered Measles Exposure
As reported by Dayton Daily News, a second measles case has been identified in Montogomery County. Another Montgomery County resident has tested positive for the measles virus, the highly contagious disease.
Measles is an acute viral respiratory illness, and measles symptoms typically present as “a prodrome of fever (as high as 105°F) and malaise, cough, coryza, and conjunctivitis.”
According to the local health department, i.e., a Montgomery County public health official, anyone at the Disney on Ice performance at the Heritage Bank Center on March 8 could have been exposed to the disease and needs to take appropriate precautionary measures immediately. Anyone who attended the show or was in the building for up to two hours after the show ended might have been exposed.
The Disney on Ice show was one of two known locations where individuals could have had measles exposure. The other location is the Sugarcreek Health Center; individuals who visited the center between 12:55 p.m. and 4 p.m. on March 13 might have had issues as well.
Any Disney guests and individuals who might have suffered a measles exposure need to call their local health departments immediately. This is so that professionals can correctly assess vaccination status and provide necessary information regarding the signs and symptoms of measles.
