A warning from the Southern Nevada Health District about the second confirmed case of the measles in the valley since December. This time, it was an international traveler who may have exposed people at Treasure Island. “Anytime you have a lot of people condensed in one area, it’s concerning,” said Dr. Cole Sondrup with Southern Hills Hospital. Experts say measles is one of the most-infectious diseases out there. About 90 percent of unvaccinated people will contract the virus if exposed. “Luckily, in Nevada, we have very high rates of immunization, so there’s herd immunity. So even when we get an imported case of measles, for example, this case, most of the population is protected,” said Vit Kraushaar a Medical Investigator with the Southern Nevada Health District. With millions visiting Las Vegas each year and outbreaks happening around the world, there is potential for exposure. “The virus can survive on surfaces for two to three hours,” said Dr. Sondrup.
