Health department confirms three additional measles cases amid outbreak

EVERETT — The Snohomish County Health Department confirmed three additional measles cases, bringing the total number in the county to six amid a measles outbreak.

The three cases are all among unvaccinated children. Two of the cases were in a family already isolating due to a positive measles case in a sibling. No exposure sites were linked to the two cases.

The department confirmed the latest case Tuesday in a child who would have been infectious while attending an afternoon service at Slavic Christian Church Awakening in Mukilteo on Jan. 18.

The measles virus can remain in the air for up to two hours after someone with measles leaves the area. Anyone who was at Slavic Christian Church Awakening from 2-6 p.m. on Jan. 18 could have been exposed to the virus.
