Public health authorities were notified, and a thorough assessment confirmed that all team members involved had immunity, with no direct exposure to other patients, the spokesperson said. “While we cannot share specific patient details due to privacy regulations, we remain committed to protecting the health and safety of our patients, staff, and community,” the spokesperson said.

NJ.com reports that at least two people from Bergen County have been confirmed to have had measles after traveling internationally. The first case was reported on Valentine's Day this year, and two more people are believed to also have the disease after contact with the original patient.

The state health department issued the alert Thursday, a day after Texas authorities confirmed an unvaccinated child in the Lone Star State died of a measles infection, marking the first death from the virus in the US since 2015.

All three patients were unvaccinated. The original patient developed rash on February 9 and was subsequently confirmed to have measles via positive measles PCR results. The individual visited three health care facilities potentially exposing others during the dates and times listed. In nearby New York City, two measles cases have been reported.

Three people in Bergen County, New Jersey have tested positive for the once-eradicated disease. Measles has claimed the life of one child in Texas, the first U.S. measles death in a decade. The two-shot dosage of the MMR vaccine is 97% effective in preventing measles.
