Health officials ask that if you suspect that you or your child have measles and wish to seek care, call your health care provider, urgent care, or hospital emergency room before leaving home.
You can also contact the Office of Public Health at 610-278-5117 to facilitate a safe visit and reduce exposure for staff and other patients.
Health care providers should report suspected cases of measles immediately to OPH at 610-278-5117 or after hours at 610-635-4300.
Measles virus can remain in the air and on surfaces for up to two hours after an infected person leaves the area. If someone breathes in the contaminated air or touches an infected surface and then touches their eyes, nose or mouth, they can become infected.
Health officials continue to encourage everyone to get the measles vaccine if they haven’t done so already.
