The Connecticut Department of Public Health said it has confirmed a new case of measles in a Fairfield County child.
The child did not attend school while infectious, the department said.
The child is a household contact of the child who contracted the first case of measles announced on Friday, April 9.
The department did not release the name of the city or town in which the children reside.
These are the first cases of measles in Connecticut since 2019. DPH is collaborating with local partners to identify contacts and implement appropriate control measures, the department said.
Measles is a highly contagious disease that can spread quickly among unvaccinated people. However, the majority of people exposed to measles are not at risk of developing the disease since most people have either been vaccinated or have had measles in the past, before vaccination became routine.
