KSL.com More Utahns are being diagnosed with the highly contagious measles virus.
The Central Utah Health Department announced in a news release Monday that two measles cases have been confirmed in residents.
The infections mark the first in the central Utah district.
The department said both cases were in people who are unvaccinated, “who had recent contact with someone they believe had measles.”
Staff at the department have identified “a small number of individuals” who they believe may have minimal exposure to one of the confirmed cases, and they are working to contact those who were potentially exposed to those with the measles.
At this point, the department says there have been no further exposures or risks to the public from these cases.
