TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. (AP) – Health officials in the northern Michigan Peninsula are urging people to monitor the symptoms of measles after a young woman recently arrived in Ukraine has been confirmed as contagious.

According to the Grand Traverse County Health Department, the unvaccinated woman returned to northern Michigan with measles and officials would not be surprised if other cases were discovered. She could have exposed people in a shop, government office and health facilities in Traverse City from June 30 to July 4.

The department said there was no exhibition at the National Cherry Festival, which ended last weekend and attracts large crowds each summer in Traverse City.

The case is the 45th in Michigan this year. Most have been in the suburbs of Detroit. The number is the highest in 65 years in 1991.
