The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment said two more cases of measles have been confirmed in connection with an out-of-state traveler who went through Denver International Airport in May.
Officials said the latest cases are two unvaccinated adults who reside in El Paso County. Officials said the adults are not related to each other, but were both at the airport around the same time on May 14.
There have now been five confirmed cases of measles associated with the out-of-state traveler, who arrived in Denver on May 13 on Turkish Airlines flight 201. Those include that traveler, two Colorado residents on that flight, and now two El Paso County residents who were at the airport during the exposure period.
