Snohomish County resident identified with measles
EVERETT — A Snohomish County adult has been identified with measles, the health departments from King and Snohomish Counties announced Tuesday.
The case of measles, the second confirmed in the state this year, was identified Monday. The first case of measles was confirmed in an infant on Feb. 26 in King County.
Health departments in King and Snohomish County assessed potential public exposures while the individual was contagious and found there is no risk of measles to the general public from the latest case, the departments announced in a release Tuesday.
“Without the rapid response from public health departments to conduct contact tracing to identify susceptible individuals, we could have seen significantly more cases,” Snohomish County Health Officer James Lewis wrote in a release.
