Health officials have again warned that travelers to the Los Angeles International Airport may have been exposed to measles in recent weeks.

The Los Angeles County Public Health Department announced Wednesday that a pbadenger who pbaded through LAX on March 5 had been diagnosed with a highly contagious disease. The person arrived on a United flight in Terminal 7.

The ministry announced last week that a pbadenger calling on February 21 might have exposed people in Terminal B and Delta Terminal 3.

However, there is currently no known risk of measles at the airport. Public servants do not believe that cases are related.

Measles is transmitted when an infected person coughs or sneezes. He can stay in the air for two hours in an isolated space.

Officials say that people who have not been vaccinated are the most exposed.
