Public health officials in San Bernardino County reported the first confirmed case of measles Friday.
The case involves an unvaccinated minor who was visiting California from another state, the San Bernardino County Department of Public Health said. It did not clarify which state the juvenile is from.
The unvaccinated minor was at Walmart Supercenter on Mountain Avenue in Ontario on Jan. 29 between noon and 3 p.m., the public health department said.
Those who were at the location may be at risk of developing measles if they are unvaccinated, immunocompromised or pregnant.
This is the first case in San Bernardino County since 2023, officials said.
The case is unrelated to the recent measles case involving a child who visited Disneyland last week.
Symptoms, which typically develop in seven to 21 days after exposure, include fever, cough, runny nose and red eyes.
