A second case of measles has been confirmed in Santa Barbara County by the county’s Public Health Department (PHD). The first case, a Santa Barbara City man in his twenties , was reported May 28. The infection danger was considered small for the first case because the young man spent most of his contagious period traveling outside of Santa Barbara County.
The most recent individual was only identified as an unvaccinated adult to maintain their medical privacy. The second patient was exposed to measles outside of the county and has been in isolation since June 5, reported the PHD. However, individuals who visited the sites below at the times indicated may have been exposed to the virus.
