Key Points:

The Virginia Department of Health (VDH) is investigating two new measles cases in Northern Virginia, bringing the total to 10 cases in 2026, with six in the region; both patients are adults who recently traveled domestically together.
Potential exposure sites include multiple locations in Manassas, Haymarket, and Alexandria between February 13 and 17, with detailed times and places provided for public awareness.
Most Virginians are considered protected due to vaccination or prior infection, but those who visited the listed sites during exposure times should report to VDH, verify their immunization status, and monitor for symptoms.
Unvaccinated or non-immune individuals should contact healthcare providers promptly as timely post-exposure treatment may prevent illness;
