INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — State health officials say a case of
measles has been diagnosed in central Indiana and people who visited
three clinics and a restaurant may have been exposed to the virus.
The
state Department of Health said Friday it’s working with local health
departments and hospitals to identify additional measles cases.
The
agency says people who visited St. Vincent Immediate Care Center in
Zionsville on July 17, St. Vincent Carmel Hospital Emergency Department
in Carmel on July 19 and St. Vincent Outpatient Treatment Center in
Carmel on July 20 may have been exposed to the virus.
People who
visited Ocean World Restaurant in Indianapolis on July 18 may have also
been exposed to the highly contagious respiratory disease, which is
particularly dangerous for children and can prove deadly in rare cases.
