DPH measles investigation identifies public exposures at three locations

COLUMBIA, S.C. (WOLO)– The SCDPH has identified three public exposes of measles as part of an ongoing investigation into the current Upstate outbreak, say officials.

South Carolina Department of Public Health has identified some locations and times.

DPH has defined the times of potential exposure to others at the following locations:

• Nose Dive restaurant at 116 S. Main Street, Greenville, S.C. on Dec. 24 from 1:30 to 4:30 pm
• Best Buy at 1125 Woodruff Road, Suite 1201, Greenville, S.C. on Dec. 24 from 3 to 6 p.m.
• The Spartanburg Library at 151 at S. Church Street, Spartanburg, S.C. for the Solar Superstorms Planetarium Show on Dec. 27 from 3:15 to 6:30 p.m.

Officials say the person did not know they were infectious at the time of the exposures at the three newly identified locations.

DPH is asking anyone who was at any of these locations during those specific days and times to contact your health care provider if you believe you may have been exposed, if you do not have immunity to measles or if you develop symptoms.

People who were exposed, especially those without immunity through vaccination or previous disease should monitor for symptoms through Jan. 17.
