In collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), passengers seated near the infected traveler will be notified by their local health departments.
According to the health department, people who were at the affected locations during the specified times could develop measles seven to 21 days after exposure.
People who have had measles in the past or received the recommended vaccine are likely protected but should continue monitoring for symptoms, authorities said. Those who are unvaccinated or unsure of their vaccination status are at higher risk.
“As measles cases increase, it is important that residents take steps to make sure they are fully protected. The MMR vaccine is the safest and most reliable way to prevent measles and protect yourself, your family, and your community,” said Dr. Muntu Davis, Los Angeles County health officer.
Anyone who remains symptom-free for more than 21 days after exposure is no longer considered at risk. The last day for potentially exposed individuals to monitor for symptoms is Aug. 6, 2026.
Symptoms may include:
Fever higher than 101 degrees
Cough
Runny nose
Red, watery eyes
A rash that appears three to five days after other signs of illness
According to CDC health officials, the measles rash typically begins on the face before spreading to the rest of the body.
The department urged residents to ensure they are fully protected against measles before traveling as outbreaks continue in the United States and internationally.
