Douglas County and Washington County health officials are advising people who aren't immune to the measles and were at one of four public spots in Omaha or Blair at certain times and dates should quarantine themselves into February so as not to expose others.

That means they should stay home: no school, child care, church, work, shopping or other activities.

Health officials confirmed a case of the measles on Wednesday. That person visited several places in Blair and Omaha, including the Children's Museum and Costco.

People who aren’t immune to measles either through vaccination or a history of illness could have also been infected. Health officials say these people include all infants under 12 months and adults under the age of 57 who have never been immunized against measles.
