People who took the Regional Transportation District’s Flatiron Flyer bus between Boulder and Denver last week should watch for measles symptoms — as should people who spent time in the Market Building on 16th Street in Denver.
A Boulder County resident who recently traveled to Europe returned with measles, becoming the state’s 15th case this year.
Colorado public health officials said the person was an adult who was fully vaccinated. Two shots of the vaccine are about 97% effective in preventing infection.
People should monitor themselves for symptoms if they visited the following exposure locations:
- RTD Flatiron Flyer between Denver and Boulder, both ways, from 6:45 to 9:35 a.m. and 4:05 to 7:15 p.m. June 3, June 5 and June 6.
- Market Building, 1400 16th St., Denver, from 8 a.m. to 6:15 p.m. June 3-6.
- Little Finch Coffee Shop, 1490 16th St., Denver, from noon to 2:15 p.m. June 4 and June 5.
- Whole Foods, 1701 Wewatta St., Denver, from noon to 2:30 p.m. June 4.
- Rosetta Hall, 1109 Walnut St., Boulder, from 7:30 to 10:45 p.m. June 6.
Early symptoms include a cough, runny nose, red eyes and a fever, with a red rash starting about four days after someone becomes contagious. People can begin to feel sick one to three weeks after exposure.
People who feel ill after a possible exposure should call their health care provider or an urgent care center before seeking help, so the provider can reduce the risk the virus will spread to other patients.
