Measles patient visited Super Bowl Village

– A person diagnosed with measles may have exposed others at Indianapolis’ Super Bowl Village to the disease, according to Indiana health officials, who say they’re not yet concerned about a widespread outbreak.

Two cases of measles have been confirmed in Hamilton County, with another two suspected in Boone County. One of the confirmed patients visited the outdoor Super Bowl Village on Friday afternoon. More than 200,000 people visited the Super Bowl Village that day.

The Indiana State Department of Health said it notified the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and health departments in New York and Massachusetts, but it could be a week before new cases of measles pop up from that exposure.

Health officials noted the person did not go into the NFL Experience interactive fan exhibit at the Indiana Convention Center.

The person was infected by an undiagnosed sibling, according to the agency, which declined to provide additional information about the person.

Larkin said the risk for a widespread outbreak is low. School-age children are generally required to receive two rounds of the measles vaccine. Larkin said anyone who notices symptoms should contact a doctor.
