Dec. 24 (UPI) -- A visitor from Texas who was afflicted with measles might have exposed many to the airborne virus while in Massachusetts, state health officials announced Wednesday.
The individual flew from the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport to Boston Logan International Airport on American Airlines Flight 2384 on Dec. 11, which landed at 2:39 p.m. EST, according to WBTS-CD.
The individual stayed at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Boston-Westborough in Westborough and left the state the next day at 9:19 p.m. aboard JetBlue Flight 117 to Las Vegas.
No measles cases have been reported in the commonwealth in 2025, but the Massachusetts Department of Public Health issued an alert on Wednesday to warn those who might have come into contact with that individual about the risk of measles exposure.
