The Marquette County Health Department confirmed a case of measles in a Marquette County resident Thursday. A second Marquette County case has since surfaced, along with one in Ontonagon County in a person with ties to Marquette County.
Because the virus that causes measles can remain infectious in the air for up to two hours after an infected person leaves the area, individuals who were at these locations may have been exposed to the first case:
— Moonspun Wool, 219 W. Washington St., Marquette, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday, May 19; 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday, May 20; and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday, May 21.
— Marquette Food Co-op, 502 W. Washington St., Marquette, from 6 to 10 p.m. Tuesday, May 20.
— Midas, 2192 U.S. 41, Marquette, from noon to 2:30 p.m. Wednesday, May 21.
