Health officials from the Alexandria Health Department and the Virginia Department of Health are warning about potential measles exposures in northern Virginia after two Maryland residents tested positive for the disease. Possible exposure locations include Dulles International Airport, Ronald Reagan National Airport, and the Washington Metro system. Officials are working to identify and contact those who may have been exposed, including passengers on specific flights. Individuals born after 1957 and not fully vaccinated should watch for symptoms until April 7. Symptoms may include a runny nose, fever, cough, watery red eyes, and rash. If symptoms develop, isolation and medical attention are recommended. People who may have been exposed are advised to review recommended actions, including monitoring for symptoms and seeking care if necessary. Those who have questions about potential exposure can contact VDH for more information. Virginia has not reported any measles cases in 2025.
