MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Pa. – A reported measles case in eastern Pennsylvania has led to a traveler warning.
Travelers who visited John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City and other locations in eastern Pennsylvania at the end of February should be on alert for symptoms of measles, after a child without the measles vaccine contracted the disease, according to officials in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania.
People who were at any of the below locations at the listed times may have been exposed, officials said:
- February 25-26, 2025: China Airlines Airport Shuttle Bus, departing JFK Airport Terminal 4, arriving at North Philadelphia, Pho Ha Saigon, 757 Adams Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19120, from February 25 at 9:30 p.m. to February 26 at 3:15 a.m.
- February 26, 2025: True North Pediatrics Associates of Plymouth, 3031 Walton Rd., #C101, Plymouth Meeting, PA 19462, 11:45. a.m. – 2:15 p.m.
- February 26, 2025: CHOP King of Prussia Campus Emergency Department, 550 S. Goddard Boulevard, King of Prussia, PA 19406, 12:52 p.m. – 3:02 p.m.
Identified individuals are in the process of being contacted and notified of potential exposure to measles and assessed for vaccination status and risk for infection.
Health officials said the measles virus can remain in the air and on surfaces for up to 2 hours after an infected person leaves the area. If someone breathes in the contaminated air or touches an infected surface and then touches their eyes, nose or mouth, they can become infected.
Officials said more information about possible exposure during and after air travel will be given as soon as they are available.

Video of children in staged hockey fight in Pennsylvania prompts vow of disciplinary action
Video of youth hockey players brawling in a staged fight at a minor league game in Pennsylvania has prompted officials to promise “appropriate disciplinary action” against organizers.
The wild scene broke out Saturday during intermission at the Hershey Bears-Cleveland Monsters AHL game at Giant Center in Hershey, about 15 miles east of Harrisburg.
Viral video of the incident showed several players — including a goaltender — in on the fake fracas, dropping gloves, throwing punches, cross checking and hitting from behind.
Players, who are 8 and younger from the Central Penn Panthers Youth Ice Hockey Club, brawled with no adults coming on to the ice to break up the action.
The Atlantic Amateur Hockey Association promised to take action against both adults and the players.
“We are aware of a staged fight that occurred last night at the Hershey Bears (AHL) game involving a Pennsylvania 8U team,” the Atlantic Amateur Hockey Association said in a statement on Sunday.
“Affiliate, league and club officials are investigating the matter and appropriate disciplinary action will be taken against those players and team officials involved with the staged fight.”
A representative for the Hershey Bears, an affiliate of the Washington Capitals, could not be immediately reached by NBC News for comment on Monday.
“The safety, well-being, and positive experience of all participants— especially our young players — are of the utmost importance,” the Central Penn Panthers said in statement on Sunday.
“We are currently conducting an internal review to fully understand the circumstances surrounding the incident. This review will include gathering information from all relevant parties and assessing the situation thoroughly and responsibly,” the Panthers said. “At this time, we believe it is important to allow this process to take place before drawing conclusions. “
Online speculation about the presence of U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents at the 2026 Pennsylvania Farm Show has sparked a growing spread of misinformation.
Multiple posts on Facebook and TikTok have stated that undercover or plain clothes ICE agents are walking around the farm show and staying at local hotels without naming a source for their information.
“These rumors are false,” Pa. Department of Agriculture Press Secretary Shannon Powers told PennLive on Sunday. “The Department of Agriculture has not found any ICE personnel working on or near the Farm Show complex.”
A PennLive reporter walking around the complex on Saturday did not see any ICE agents.
Powers also said ICE has not rented or reserved event space or an exhibit booth in the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex for the Farm Show.
There are law enforcement personnel on the property, but they are focused on safety and security of Farm Show visitors, Powers said.
Pennsylvania State Police troopers are stationed and patrolling the Farm Show complex and parking lots to keep visitors safe, working in conjunction with the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency, Farm Show Security, Capitol Police, local municipal police departments and Harrisburg Fire Police.
Discourse about ICE has ramped up since Renee Good was fatally shot by an ICE officer in Minneapolis last week. Good was a 37-year-old mother of three.
In the last several months, the Department of Homeland Security has heavily increased immigration enforcement, characterized by arrests of undocumented immigrants, a social media campaign and crackdowns on protests.
