A new year bring hope and promise… and it looks like 2018 is bringing us MEASLES.

The second confirmed case also out of O’Hare (might be time to start booking everything out of Midway…)

The measles virus can linger in the air and on surfaces for hours after an infected person leaves the area.  This infected person was at Terminal 5 Jan. 9th between 8:30a and noon according to the Illinois Department of Health.  Other time and locations in Skokie of potential exposure to the case can be found on the Sun Times site  HERE.

Signs and symptoms from the CDC HERE
