OAK PARK, Mich. (AP) – Michigan health officials confirmed a case of measles linked to a trip involving a person visiting Israel.

The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services and the Oakland County Health Division say people have been exposed at several locations in Detroit's suburb of Oak Park and Southfield, including a synagogue, Jewish educational institutions, convenience stores and a pizzeria.

According to officials, the person with measles remained in New York, where a measles outbreak was reported.

Measles usually starts with a high fever, red eyes, runny nose, sensitivity to light and possibly rashes on the face and head, and then on other parts of the body.

Michigan health officials last year urged vaccination and other precautions after confirming several cases of measles in Michigan.
