BOSTON, MA — Health officials are working to identify anyone who may have been exposed after a person with measles visited several places in Boston last weekend.
The Boston Public Health Commission and the Massachusetts Department of Public Health said the person visited Boston from June 7 to June 8.
The person visited several places in Boston while infectious. Any individuals who spent time in the following locations at the specific dates and times listed may have been exposed, health officials said:
Westin Boston Seaport District Hotel (including restaurants in the hotel) between 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, June 7, and 1:30 p.m. on Sunday, June 8.
The Museum of Fine Arts Boston between 1 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. on Sunday, June 8.
Logan Airport Terminal C between 5 p.m. and 11:15 p.m. on Sunday, June 8.
On June 8, health officials said the person flew on JetBlue flight 639 to Miami on a flight that departed at 9:12 p.m.
“BPHC and DPH are working with the CDC to identify and notify passengers who may have been exposed,” health officials said. “As BPHC and DPH collect more information, they will notify the public and individuals directly.”

Measles is a highly contagious virus that begins with flu-like symptoms, including cough, high fever, runny nose, and red, watery eyes, followed by a red, blotchy rash that spreads from the face to the rest of the body.
Measles easily spreads when someone with the virus breathes, coughs or sneezes. It can also spread if people touch surfaces or items with the virus within 2 hours after the infected person was in the area. Measles infection can occur 7 to 21 days after direct or indirect contact with another person with measles.
Measles can be prevented with the MMR vaccine. Two doses are about 97 percent effective at preventing measles, while one dose is about 93 percent effective.
In Suffolk County, 94 percent of children have been fully vaccinated against measles, according to DPH data.
Unvaccinated individuals who have been exposed should contact their healthcare provider immediately, health officials said. They should also avoid public places (i.e. school, work, public transit, stores) and monitor for symptoms for 21 days.

“No Kings” rallies are scheduled in Boston and across Massachusetts on Saturday and are expected to draw large crowds, organizers said.
Organized by the ACLU of Massachusetts, Indivisible Mass Coalition, and Mass 50501, the event is a mass mobilization in protest of the Trump administration.
The No Kings theme was created by the 50501 Movement, a national movement made up of Americans who stand for democracy and against what they call the authoritarian actions of the Trump administration. The name 50501 stands for 50 states, 50 protests, one movement.
“The Trump administration is trying to shred the Constitution; the No Kings movement is an unequivocal statement that we, the people, will not let that happen. This will be the third global No Kings Day, and it’s not just about protesting what’s wrong—it’s about building something better. We intend to show our power, build our power, and power a democracy that advances freedom, equality, justice, and dignity for all,” organizers wrote.
